Propose a change

Local Government Finance Act 1988

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

63K Liability to non-domestic rating: notification

(1) The billing authority must give notice to a person who is to be treated as liable in accordance with section 63I. (2) The Welsh Ministers must give notice to a person who is to be treated as liable in accordance with section 63J. (3) A notice under subsection (1) or (2) must set out— (a) the reasons for treating the person as liable, (b) information about requiring a review under subsection (4), and (c) information about the right of appeal under section 63L. (4) A person who receives a notice under subsection (1) or (2) may require a review of it by making a request in writing to the billing authority or the Welsh Ministers (as the case may be) within 30 days beginning with the date of the notice under subsection (1) or (2). (5) The review must conclude that the notice under subsection (1) or (2) is to be either— (a) confirmed, or (b) withdrawn (in which case the arrangement subject to the notice is to be taken as not having been an artificial non-domestic rating avoidance arrangement). (6) The billing authority or the Welsh Ministers must notify the person of the conclusion of the review and their reasoning within 30 days beginning with the day on which the request was made under subsection (4). (7) Notices under this section must be in writing.

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.
