Propose a change

Judicial Pensions and Retirement Act 1993

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.

What to do with it
As published

21 Pensions payable to judicial officers etc. by local authorities in England and Wales.

(1) This section applies in any case where— (a) an order under section 1(8) above amends Schedule 1 to this Act by the addition of any office (“the office”) to those for the time being specified in that Schedule; and (b) immediately before the coming into force of the order, a local authority was under a liability to defray, whether in whole or in part, pensions or other benefits payable in respect of service in the office. (2) Where this section applies, the appropriate Minister may by order made with the consent of the Treasury— (a) provide for the local authority to be discharged, to such extent as may be prescribed, from the liability to pay pensions or other benefits in respect of such service in the office as may be prescribed; and (b) require the local authority instead to make prescribed payments to the Treasury. (3) In framing the provisions of an order under subsection (2) above, regard shall be had to the desirability of securing so far as reasonably practicable— (a) that the payments required to be made by the local authority are such as to reimburse the Treasury in respect of so much of— (i) any pension or lump sum payable under Part I above, or to or in respect of any person to whom Part I above applies as may reasonably be regarded as attributable to his service in the office; and (b) that the local authority is discharged, to a corresponding extent, from the liability to pay any pension or other benefit to or in respect of such a person in respect of his service in the office. (4) In this section— “local authority” means any county council, county borough council, district council, London Borough Council or the Common Council of the City of London; “prescribed” means specified in, or determined in accordance with, an order under subsection (2) above. (5) Nothing in this section applies in relation to any pension or other benefits payable under or by virtue of section 10 above.

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.
