Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009
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
As published
99 Requirements in connection with establishment of EPB
(1) The Secretary of State may make an order establishing an EPB for an area only if, having regard to a scheme prepared and published under section 98, the Secretary of State considers that to do so is likely to improve—
(a) the exercise of statutory functions relating to economic development and regeneration in the area, and
(b) economic conditions in the area.
(2) Before making the order, the Secretary of State must consult—
(a) each appropriate authority, and
(b) such other persons (if any) as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(3) For the purposes of this section—
(a) a county council is an appropriate authority if the area of the county council, or part of that area, is within the area for which the EPB is to be established;
(b) a district council is an appropriate authority if the area of the district council is within the area for which the EPB is to be established.
(3A) Subsection (3B) applies where the Secretary of State is considering whether to make an order establishing an EPB for an area and—
(a) part of the area is separated from the rest of it by one or more local government areas that are not within the area, or
(b) a local government area that is not within the area is surrounded by local government areas that are within the area.
(3B) In deciding whether to make the order, the Secretary of State must have regard to the likely effect of the creation of the proposed EPB on economic development or regeneration in each local government area that is next to any part of the proposed EPB area.
(4) In making the order, the Secretary of State must have regard to the need—
(a) to reflect the identities and interests of local communities, and
(b) to secure effective and convenient local government.

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.
Sign in to file your proposal. What you have written stays on this page.
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.
