As published

137 Making of scheme.

(1) If the authority or authorities decide that it is appropriate to make the scheme, they may make it as proposed or with modifications. (2) If the scheme applies to tickets within section 135(4)(d), it may only be made with the agreement of the operators of the connecting rail or tram services concerned. (3) The scheme must specify the date on which it is to come into operation, which must not be earlier than three months after the date on which it is made. (4) Not later than 14 days after the date on which the scheme is made, the authority or authorities must give notice of it— (a) in at least one newspaper circulating in the area to which it relates, (b) to a traffic commissioner. (c) to all operators of local services or services for the carriage of passengers by railway or by tramway (or by both) who would, in the opinion of the authority or authorities, be affected by it, (d) to the Secretary of State if it applies to tickets within section 135(4)(d), and (e) in such other manner, or to such other persons or class of person, (if any) as the appropriate national authority may prescribe by regulations. (5) The notice must set out the terms of the scheme and the date on which it is to come into operation. (6) The authority or authorities may vary or revoke the scheme; and the variation or revocation is subject to the same procedure as the making of the scheme, except to the extent that that procedure is modified by regulations made by the appropriate national authority.

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.
