Propose a change

Transport Act 2000

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

138I Postponement of scheme or part of scheme

(1) If it appears to a local transport authority or authorities that have made an enhanced partnership scheme appropriate to do so, they may decide that any of the dates specified in subsection (3) are to be postponed by such period as they think fit. (2) A date may not be postponed under subsection (1) by a period or periods which in total exceed 12 months. (3) The dates are— (a) the date on which the scheme is to come into operation, (b) the date as from which any particular requirement is to be imposed under the scheme, (c) the date as from which any particular facilities are to be provided under the scheme, (d) the date as from which any particular measures are to be taken under the scheme, and (e) the date as from which any particular condition under section 138E applies. (4) Before making such a decision they must consult all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme. (5) Not later than 14 days after the date on which any such decision is made, they must give notice of the making of the decision— (a) in such manner as they consider appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons in their area or combined area, (b) to all operators of local services who would, in their opinion, be affected by the scheme, and (c) to a traffic commissioner. (6) The notice must include a statement of their reasons for the decision.

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.
