Propose a change

Horserace Totalisator and Betting Levy Boards Act 1972

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

4 Financing of totalisators on approved horse racecourses.

(1) Where facilities for sponsored pool betting are, with the authority of the Totalisator Board, being provided on an approved horse racecourse by the persons having the management of that course, any amount deducted by those persons under section 14(3)(a) of the Act of 1963 from the aggregate amount staked may, to such extent as the Totalisator Board may allow, be retained by those persons instead of being paid to the Board as required by section 14(4). (2) It is hereby declared that the purposes for which the Levy Board have power under section 25(2)(d) of the Act of 1963 to make payments (in accordance with schemes prepared by them and approved by the Secretary of State) as purposes conducive to the improvement of horseracing include the provision on approved horse racecourses of facilities for sponsored pool betting, whether provided by the Totalisator Board or by the persons having the management of the course.

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.
