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

167ZZ11 Liability to make payments

(1) The liability to make payments of statutory parental bereavement pay under section 167ZZ9 is a liability of any person of whom the person entitled to the payments has been an employee as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) of that section. (2) The Department must by regulations make provision as to a former employer’s liability to pay statutory parental bereavement pay to a former employee in any case where the employee’s contract of service with the employer has been brought to an end by the employer solely, or mainly, for the purpose of avoiding liability for statutory parental bereavement pay. (3) The Department may, with the concurrence of the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, by regulations specify circumstances in which, despite this section, liability to make payments of statutory parental bereavement pay is to be a liability of the Commissioners.

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.
