Propose a change

Credit Unions Act 1979

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(1) The requirements of this section must be met where— (a) the rules of a society provide for one or more common bonds involving a connection with a locality, or (b) the rules of a society provide for one or more common bonds of such other description as may be specified. (2) The requirements are— (a) that the conditions in subsection (3) are met, or (b) that extraordinary circumstances exist justifying registration of the society as a credit union. (3) The conditions are— (a) that the number of potential members of the society does not exceed two million or such higher figure as may be specified; and (b) that it is reasonably practicable for every potential member to participate in votes of the society, serve on the society’s committee and have access to all the services offered by the society. (4) The FCA may accept as sufficient evidence that the conditions in subsection (3) are met a statutory declaration to that effect given by three members and the secretary of the society. (5) In this section “specified” means specified by order made by the Treasury.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
