Propose a change

Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Act 2006

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

14 Further supplementary functions

(1) Regulations may, for any purpose connected with the Commissioner's functions, confer further functions on him. (2) The reference in subsection (1) to the Commissioner's functions does not include— (a) his powers under sections 2(3) and 9, to the extent that they are exercised in a field in which neither the Welsh Minsters, the First Minister for Wales nor the Counsel General to the Welsh Assembly Government have functions; (b) his powers under section 13. (3) Regulations under subsection (1) may, for the purposes of a function conferred on the Commissioner by the regulations, confer power on the Commissioner or a person authorised by him— (a) to enter any premises, other than a private dwelling, for the purpose of interviewing an older person accommodated or cared for there; (b) to interview the older person, if the older person consents. (4) Where regulations under subsection (1) confer power to interview an older person, the interview must be conducted— (a) if the older person requires another person to be present, in that other person's presence; and (b) otherwise in the presence of others only to the extent that the older person and the Commissioner have consented to their being present.

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.
