Propose a change

Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992

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

117 Mariners, airmen, etc.

(1) The Treasury may with the concurrence of the Department make regulations modifying provisions of Parts I to V and this Part of this Act and Part III of the Social Security Contributions (Transfer of Functions, etc.) (Northern Ireland) Order 1999, and any provisions of Chapter II of Part II of the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 which correspond to provisions of Part III of the 1975 Act, in such manner as the Treasury think proper, in their application to persons who are or have been, or are to be, employed on board any ship, vessel, hovercraft or aircraft. (2) Regulations under subsection (1) above may in particular provide— (a) for any such provision to apply to such persons, notwithstanding that it would not otherwise apply; (b) for excepting such persons from the application of any such provision where they neither are domiciled nor have a place of residence in Northern Ireland; (c) for requiring the payment of secondary Class 1 contributions in respect of such persons, whether or not they are (within the meaning of Part I of this Act) employed earners; (d) for the taking of evidence, for the purposes of any claim to benefit, in a country or territory other than Northern Ireland, by a British consular official or such other person as may be prescribed; (e) for enabling persons who are or have been so employed to authorise the payment of the whole or any part of any benefit to which they are or may become entitled to such of their dependants as may be prescribed.

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.
