Propose a change

Housing and Planning Act 2016

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

97 Objective 1: normal administration

(1) Objective 1 is to— (a) rescue the registered provider as a going concern, (b) achieve a better result for the registered provider's creditors as a whole than would be likely if the registered provider were wound up (without first being in housing administration), or (c) realise property in order to make a distribution to one or more secured or preferential creditors. (2) The housing administrator must aim to achieve Objective 1(a) unless the housing administrator thinks— (a) that it is not reasonably practicable to achieve it, or (b) that Objective 1(b) would achieve a better result for the registered provider's creditors as a whole. (3) The housing administrator may aim to achieve Objective 1(c) only if— (a) the housing administrator thinks that it is not reasonably practicable to achieve Objective 1(a) or (b), and (b) the housing administrator does not unnecessarily harm the interests of the registered provider's creditors as a whole. (4) In pursuing Objective 1(a), (b) or (c) the housing administrator must act in the interests of the registered provider's creditors as a whole so far as consistent with that Objective.

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.
