Propose a change

Employment Rights Act 1996

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

104F Blacklists

(1) An employee who is dismissed shall be regarded for the purposes of this Part as unfairly dismissed if the reason (or, if more than one, the principal reason) for the dismissal relates to a prohibited list, and either— (a) the employer contravenes regulation 3 of the 2010 Regulations in relation to that prohibited list, or (b) the employer— (i) relies on information supplied by a person who contravenes that regulation in relation to that list, and (ii) knows or ought reasonably to know that the information relied on is supplied in contravention of that regulation. (2) If there are facts from which the tribunal could conclude, in the absence of any other explanation, that the employer— (a) contravened regulation 3 of the 2010 Regulations, or (b) relied on information supplied in contravention of that regulation, the tribunal must find that such a contravention or reliance on information occurred, unless the employer shows that it did not. (3) In this section— “ the 2010 Regulations ” means the Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010, and “ prohibited list ” has the meaning given in those Regulations (see regulation 3(2)).

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.
