Propose a change

Banking Act 1987 (repealed)

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

101 Evidence.

(1) In any proceedings, a certificate purporting to be signed on behalf of the Authority and certifying— (a) that a particular person is or is not an authorised institution or was or was not such an institution at a particular time; (b) the date on which a particular institution became or ceased to be authorised; (c) whether or not a particular institution’s authorisation is or was restricted; (d) the date on which a restricted authorisation expires; or (e) the date on which a particular institution became or ceased to be a recognised bank or licensed institution under the Banking Act 1979, shall be admissible in evidence and, in Scotland, shall be sufficient evidence of the facts stated in the certificate. (2) A certificate purporting to be signed as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall be deemed to have been duly signed unless the contrary is shown.

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.
