Propose a change

Telecommunications Act 1984

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

26 Grants and loans to persons exercising certain functions.

(3) There shall be paid out of money provided by Parliament any sums required by the Secretary of State for making grants or loans under this section. (4) Any sums received by the Secretary of State under subsection (2) above shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
