Propose a change

Wales Act 2017

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.

(1) The Lord Chancellor may by regulations amend subsection (2) of section 63— (a) so as to add a tribunal to those listed, (b) so as to remove or revise a reference to a tribunal added under paragraph (a), or (c) so as to make amendments (to provisions of this Part or other enactments) that are consequential on an amendment within paragraph (a) or (b). (2) Regulations under this section may not add a tribunal whose functions— (a) are exercisable only in relation to Wales, and (b) do not relate to reserved matters (within the meaning of the Government of Wales Act 2006). (3) No regulations are to be made under this section unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply to a statutory instrument containing regulations that only make— (a) provision for the omission of a reference to a tribunal that has ceased to exist, (b) provision for the variation of a reference in consequence of a change of name or transfer of functions, or (c) amendments within subsection (1)(c).

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.
