Propose a change

Criminal Justice and Court Services 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.

As published

19 Property.

(1) The Secretary of State may by order make a scheme— (a) for the transfer to the Secretary of State or the Service of any property belonging to the old employer, (b) for the transfer to the Secretary of State or the Service of any liabilities to which the old employer is subject, (c) for the transfer of property or liabilities to a new employer after an initial transfer to the Secretary of State under paragraph (a) or (b), (d) for the Service to have any rights or interests which the Secretary of State considers appropriate in relation to any property transferred to the Secretary of State under the scheme. (2) Stamp duty is not chargeable in respect of any transfer or grant to the Service effected by virtue of this section. (3) No instrument made or executed under or in pursuance of the scheme for the purposes of such a transfer or grant is to be treated as duly stamped unless— (a) it is stamped with the duty to which it would, but for this section, be liable, or (b) it has, in accordance with the provisions of section 12 of the Stamp Act 1891, been stamped with a particular stamp denoting that it is not chargeable with any duty or that it has been duly stamped. (4) Schedule 3 (contents of schemes) applies in relation to a scheme under this section. (5) For the purposes of stamp duty land tax, a land transaction effected by virtue of this section, under which the purchaser is the Service, is exempt from charge.

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.
