Propose a change

Disabled Persons (Northern Ireland) Act 1989

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

A relevant authority shall, when requested to do so by— (a) a disabled person, (b) his authorised representative, or (c) any person who provides care for him in the circumstances mentioned in section 8, decide whether the needs of the disabled person call for the provision by the authority of any services in accordance with section 2 of the 1978 Act (provision of welfare services).

Your change, as a redline

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.
