Propose a change

Medical Act 1983

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

41C Effect of directions or orders on a licence to practise

(1) Where under this Part ...— (a) a direction is given that a medical practitioner’s name be erased from the register; or (b) an order is made or a direction is given that his registration as a medical practitioner be suspended, the practitioner’s licence to practise shall be withdrawn with effect from the date when the direction or order has effect. (2) Where a medical practitioner’s registration has been suspended and— (a) that suspension expires without being further extended; (b) the suspension is brought to an end without any direction for erasure or further suspension being made, the practitioner’s licence to practise shall be restored with effect from the date on which the suspension comes to an end.

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.
