Propose a change

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.

107N Public authorities: duty to have regard to shared local growth priorities

(1) A relevant public authority must have regard to a shared local growth priority of a mayoral combined authority when— (a) exercising, at the request of the mayoral combined authority, a function which could reasonably be expected to have an effect on that priority; (b) preparing a bid for public funding for an activity the objectives of which align with that priority; (c) preparing a statutory plan or strategy which relates to that priority. (2) Where a relevant public authority carries out activities in England and anywhere else in the United Kingdom, the duty under subsection (1) only applies in relation to activities that the authority carries out in England. (3) A “relevant public authority” means a public authority specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State. (4) In this section— “enactment” includes an enactment comprised in subordinate legislation within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978; “Minister of the Crown” has the same meaning as in the Ministers of the Crown Act 1975; “public authority” means any public authority other than— the Welsh Ministers; a devolved Welsh authority within the meaning of section 157A of the Government of Wales Act 2006; “public funding” means funding from a Minister of the Crown or government department; “shared local growth priorities” has the meaning given by section 107L(2)(b); “statutory plan or strategy” means a plan or strategy that a public authority is required by an enactment to issue or publish. (5) References in this section to an enactment or to provision made under an enactment are to an enactment whenever passed or (as the case may be) to provision whenever the instrument containing it is made.

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.
