Education (Scotland) (War Service Superannuation) Act 1939

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

1 War service by teachers to be reckoned for superannuation.

For the purposes of the Education (Scotland) (Superannuation) Acts 1919 to 1937, and of any scheme made under the said Acts or any of them (hereinafter referred to as “the Scheme”)— (a) a person who has given war service for part of the period between the date on which he was admitted or accepted for admission to preliminary training or to a training centre or college and the date on which he completed his course of training shall be deemed to be a teacher; (b) war service shall be deemed to be service, provided that any period of war service rendered by a person to whom the foregoing paragraph applies shall be deemed not to have exceeded the period by which the completion of his course of training was thereby delayed and to have been given during the period immediately preceding the date of such completion; (c) a teacher shall during any period of war service be deemed to be in receipt of a salary equal to such annual sum as in the opinion of the Secretary of State he would have received if he had been employed during that period in service other than war service.

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.
