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

84M Recalculation of grant following amending report

(1) This section applies where the Assembly, by resolution, approves a report made under section 84L (“the amending report”) relating to a local government finance report (“the original report”). (2) As soon as is reasonably practicable after the Assembly has approved the amending report, the Welsh Ministers shall calculate in relation to each receiving authority to which the original report relates what sum, if any, falls to be paid to the authority by way of revenue support grant for the financial year to which the original report relates. (3) The calculation under subsection (2) shall be in accordance with the amended basis of distribution. (4) The Welsh Ministers may carry out the subsection (2) calculation again at any time before— (a) the end of the financial year immediately following the one to which the original report relates, or (b) if later, the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the Assembly approves the amending report. (5) The power under subsection (4) may only be exercised once. (6) As soon as is reasonably practicable after making a calculation under subsection (2) or by virtue of subsection (4), the Welsh Ministers shall inform each receiving authority to which the original report relates of the outcome, so far as relating to it.

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.
