Propose a change

Tithe Act 1918 (repealed 19.11.1998)

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

8 Statutory declaration for purpose of redemption.

(1) For the purposes of the redemption of tithe rentcharge the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries may require the owner of the rentcharge to make a statutory declaration stating— (a) the nature and extent of his estate and interest in the rentcharge; (b) the date and short particulars of the instrument under which his estate or interest is derived; (c) the names and addresses of the trustees, if any, under such instrument; and (d) the incumbrances, if any, affecting the rentcharge; and the Board may accept a declaration made under this section for the purpose of the redemption. (2) If the owner of a rentcharge fails to make a declaration as required in pursuance of this section the Board may direct the redemption money for the rentcharge to be paid into court as in a case where the owner is only entitled thereto for a limited estate.

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.
