Propose a change

Atomic Energy Authority (Weapons Group) Act 1973

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

4 General transitional provisions.

(1) Where immediately before the appointed day there is in force an agreement which— (a) confers or imposes on the Authority any rights, liabilities or obligations which are transferred to the Secretary of State by virtue of section 1 of this Act; and (b) refers (in whatever terms, and whether expressly or by implication) to the Authority or to a member or officer of the Authority, the agreement shall have effect, in relation to anything falling to be done on or after that day, as if for that reference there were substituted a reference either to the Secretary of State or to such person as he may appoint for the purposes of the agreement. (2) Where any right, liability or obligation is transferred to the Secretary of State by virtue of this Act, he and all other persons shall, on and after the appointed day, have the same rights, powers and remedies (and in particular, the same rights as to the taking or resisting of legal proceedings) for ascertaining, perfecting or enforcing that right, liability or obligation as they would have had if it had at all times been a right, liability or obligation of the Secretary of State;... (3) In subsection (2) above, any reference to legal proceedings shall be construed as including a reference to any application to an authority, and any reference to the taking or resisting of legal proceedings shall be construed accordingly. (4) Any instrument shall, so far as may be necessary for or in consequence of any transfer effected by this Act, have effect as if references to, or which are to be construed as references to, the Authority, or any member or officer of the Authority, were or, as the case may require, included references to the Secretary of State.

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.
