Propose a change

Sustainable Communities Act 2007

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

4 Action plans

(1) The Secretary of State must publish— (a) the decision under section 3(3) and the reasons for it, and (b) with the decision, a statement of the action the Secretary of State proposes to take with a view to the implementation of any proposal. (2) A statement published under subsection (1)(b) is referred to in this section as an action plan. (3) The Secretary of State must publish and lay before Parliament a report, describing the progress which has been made in relation to any action plan, within the period of one year following the publication of the action plan and at intervals of not more than one year thereafter. (4) Subsection (3) does not apply in relation to an action plan if the action plan has been implemented.

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.
