Propose a change

Greenwich Hospital Act 1942

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

2 †Distribution of money not exceeding one hundred pounds without probate.

Where, on the death of any person who has been employed for the purposes of Greenwich Hospital, any sum not exceeding £5000 is due from the funds of Greenwich Hospital to that person or his legal personal representatives in respect of salary, wages, or pension or other pecuniary benefit, the Admiralty may dispense with probate or other proof of the title of the legal personal representatives, and the said sum may be paid or distributed to or among the persons appearing to the Admiralty to be beneficially entitled to the personal estate of the deceased person, or to or among any one or more of those persons, or, in the case of the illegitimacy of the deceased person or any of his children, to or among such persons as the Admiralty may think fit, and the Admiralty shall be discharged from all liability in respect of any such payment or distribution.

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.
