Propose a change

Road Traffic Act 1988

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.

12D Determination of applications for motor race orders

(1) Before determining whether to make a motor race order, a highway authority must consider— (a) the likely impact of the event on the local community, (b) the potential local economic and other benefits (in respect of tourism or otherwise), and (c) any other local considerations that the authority thinks relevant. (2) The highway authority may make the motor race order if satisfied that— (a) adequate arrangements have been made to allow the views of the local community to be taken into account, (b) the person proposing to promote the event has shown that the event is commercially viable, and (c) effective arrangements have been made to involve local residents, the police and other emergency services in the planning and implementation of the event. (3) A motor race order must— (a) specify the event to which it relates, including the date or (in the case of an event that is to take place on more than one day) the dates on which it is to take place, (b) include a map of the area to be used for the event (showing, in particular, the roads which participants will use, and areas which will be available for occupation by spectators), and (c) include any other information specified by the appropriate national authority by regulations. (4) A motor race order may include conditions which must be satisfied before, during or after the event. (5) A motor race order may, in particular, include conditions designed to ensure that the arrangements mentioned in subsection (2)(c) continue throughout the planning and implementation of the event. (6) In this section, “the appropriate national authority” means— (a) in relation to England, the Secretary of State; (b) in relation to Wales, the Welsh Ministers.

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.
