Propose a change

Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014

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.

What to do with it
As published

26 Amendments that could have been made under existing powers

(1) The amendments made by section 2(1) and (2) are treated, for the purposes of section 63 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006, as made under that section. (2) Where— (a) any other provision of this Act amends or revokes subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978), and (b) the amendment or revocation could have been made under a power conferred by an enactment, the amendment or revocation is treated, for the purposes of that enactment, as having been made under it.

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.
