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

204 Power to contract for tenancy

(1) Subsection (2) applies if— (a) a final letting notice served by the authority is in force in relation to the premises, (b) the period of 42 days beginning with the day on which that notice took effect has elapsed, (c) a rental auction has been carried out in respect of qualifying high-street premises, and (d) the condition in section 203(1)(c) is still met. (2) The local authority that served the notice may enter into a tenancy contract with the successful bidder in the auction (as identified in accordance with regulations under section 203). (3) A “tenancy contract” is a contract under which— (a) the landlord of the premises agrees to grant, and (b) the successful bidder agrees to take, a short-term tenancy of the premises (including a contract under which those things are agreed subject to conditions). (4) A contract entered into under this section has effect as if it was entered into by the landlord of the premises instead of the local authority. (5) A local authority is to act under this section in its own name, but with an indication that it is acting so as to bind the landlord rather than itself. (6) As soon as possible after entering into a contract under this section, the local authority must provide a signed copy of it to the landlord.

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.
