Propose a change

Education Act 1964 (repealed 1.11.1996)

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

1 New schools with special age-limits.

(1) Where proposals with respect to a school maintained or to be maintained by a local education authority are submitted to the Secretary of State under section 12 or 13 of the Education Act 1980, the proposals may, if the authority or persons submitting the proposals think fit,— (a) specify an age which is below the age of ten years and six months and an age which is above the age of twelve years, and (b) provide that the school shall be a school for providing full-time education suitable to the requirements of pupils whose ages are between the ages so specified. (2) The Secretary of State shall make regulations for determining, or enabling him to determine, whether a school in respect of which proposals making such provision as is mentioned in the preceding subsection are implemented is to be deemed for the purposes of the Education Act 1944 and the other enactments relating to education to be a primary or a secondary school. (3) The powers conferred by this section shall be exercisable— (a) notwithstanding anything contained in the Education Acts 1944 to 1962, and, in particular, in section 7 of the Education Act 1944 (which relates to the stages in which the statutory system of public education is to be organised), but (b) without prejudice to the exercise of any other power conferred by those Acts.

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.
