Propose a change

Merchant Shipping (Amendment) Act 1920 (repealed 1.1.1996)

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.

Your change, as a redline

1 Amendment of s. 659 of 57 & 58 Vict. c. 60.

The power of the Secretary of State under section 659 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 to determine the annual or other sums to be paid out of the General Lighthouse Fund in respect of the establishment of the general lighthouse authorities, shall extend to determining the annual or other sums to be paid out of that fund to members of the general lighthouse authority for England and Wales, and the sums so determined shall have effect notwithstanding anything in any Act limiting the amount thereof.

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.
