Propose a change

The Children and Families Act 2014 (Transitional and Saving Provisions) (No. 2) Order 2014

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

17 Children etc for whom EHC needs assessment cannot be secured before 1st April 2018

(1) This Article applies to a child or young person if this Part first applies to him or her by virtue of Part 3 or 4— (a) on or after 1st April 2018, or (b) at a time before that date at which it is not practicable to secure that an EHC needs assessment for him or her is carried out and concluded before that date. (2) The old law ceases to apply in relation to the child or young person— (a) from the time at which this Part first applies in relation to him or her, or (b) if later, from the beginning of 1st April 2018. (3) The new law applies in relation to the child or young person from that time. (4) Paragraphs (2) and (3) do not prevent the statement maintained for the child or young person from continuing to have effect; but from the time mentioned in paragraph (2) it has effect as if the special educational provision specified in it were specified in an EHC plan maintained for him or her. (5) The local authority that maintains the statement for the child or young person must secure that an EHC needs assessment for him or her is carried out and concluded as soon as is reasonably practicable after this Part begins to apply to him or her.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
