Propose a change

Children and Social Work Act 2017

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

50 Fees

(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations confer power on the regulator to charge fees in connection with— (a) registration or continued registration in a register mentioned in section 39; (b) assessing whether a person meets a professional standard relating to proficiency as mentioned in section 41(4); (c) approval or continued approval in accordance with a scheme mentioned in section 43. (2) The regulator is responsible for setting the level of fees in accordance with any provision made by the regulations. (3) Before determining the level of any fee the regulator must— (a) consult any persons they consider appropriate, and (b) obtain the approval of the Secretary of State. (4) The regulations may authorise fees to be set at a level that exceeds the cost of the things in respect of which they are charged. (5) But the regulations must require the level of any fees to be set with a view to ensuring that, so far as possible, the regulator's fee income does not exceed its expenses (taking one year with another). (6) Regulations under this section may include provision about the collection and recovery of fees. (7) The regulations must require the regulator to pay any fee income to the Secretary of State unless the Secretary of State, with the consent of the Treasury, directs otherwise.

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.
