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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

92 General funds: supplementary.

(1) In this section “relevant authority” has the same meaning as in section 91 above. (2) The Secretary of State may make regulations— (a) about the relationship of a relevant authority’s general fund to its other funds; (b) providing for assets falling within a relevant authority’s general fund to be held in separate funds within the general fund. (3) The regulations may provide that any fund established by a relevant authority on or after 1 April 1990, other than its collection fund or a trust fund, is to be maintained as a separate fund falling within its general fund. (4) The regulations may provide that such assets as are transferred to a relevant authority’s general fund under section 91(6), (7) or (8) above and fall within a prescribed description shall be held in separate funds falling within the general fund; and the number and composition of the separate funds shall be such as are prescribed.

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.
