Propose a change

Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023

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

198 Final notice

(1) A local authority may serve a notice under this section (a “final letting notice”) on the landlord of qualifying high-street premises on any day on which— (a) an initial letting notice served by the authority is in force in relation to the premises, (b) the period of eight weeks beginning with the day on which that notice took effect has elapsed, and (c) either— (i) no tenancy or licence has been granted, or other agreement entered into, with the consent of the authority under section 196 or in circumstances where consent was not needed because of subsection (3) of that section, or (ii) the authority is satisfied that any tenancy, licence or agreement so granted or entered into is consistent with the contemplated exercise of its powers under section 204. (2) But the notice must be served in time for it to take effect before the initial letting notice expires. (3) A final letting notice expires (if it has not been withdrawn or revoked on appeal, and subject to sections 201(6) and 202(6)) at the end of the period of 14 weeks beginning with the day on which it takes effect.

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.
