Propose a change

Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933

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

7 Power to apply Part I of Act to British dominions, protectorates and mandated territories.

(1) His Majesty may by Order in Council direct that this Part of this Act shall apply to His Majesty’s dominions outside the United Kingdom and to judgments obtained in the courts of the said dominions as it applies to foreign countries and judgments obtained in the courts of foreign countries, and, in the event of His Majesty so directing, this Act shall have effect accordingly and Part II of the Administration of Justice Act 1920, shall cease to have effect except in relation to those parts of the said dominions to which it extends at the date of the Order. (2) If at any time after His Majesty has directed as aforesaid an Order in Council is made under section one of this Act extending Part I of this Act to any part of His Majesty’s dominions to which the said Part II extends as aforesaid, the said Part II shall cease to have effect in relation to that part of His Majesty’s dominions. (3) References in this section to His Majesty’s dominions outside the United Kingdom shall be construed as including references to any territories which are under His Majesty’s protection and to any territories in respect of which a mandate under the League of Nations has been accepted by His Majesty.

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.
