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Banking Act 1987 (repealed)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

80 Regulations imposing requirements on overseas-based banks.

(1) The Treasury may, after consultation with the Authority, by regulations impose on overseas institutions which have established or propose to establish representative offices in the United Kingdom such requirements as the Treasury consider appropriate in connection with those offices and the activities conducted from them. (2) Regulations under this section may in particular require the establishment or continued existence of a representative office to be authorised by the Authority and such regulations may make provision for— (a) the granting and revocation of such authorisations; (b) the imposition of conditions in connection with the grant or retention of such authorisations; and (c) appeals against the refusal or withdrawal of such authorisations or the imposition of such conditions. (3) No regulations shall be made under this section unless a draft of the regulations has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.

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.
