Propose a change

Water Resources Act 1991

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

175 Vesting of pipes in the appropriate agency.

(1) Subject to any provision to the contrary contained in an agreement between the appropriate agency and the person in whom an interest in the pipe is or is to be vested, every pipe which— (a) is a relevant pipe for the purposes of section 159 or 160 above; and (b) has been laid, in exercise of any power conferred by Chapter I of this Part or otherwise, by the appropriate agency, shall vest in the appropriate agency. (2) Subsection (1) above is without prejudice to the vesting of anything in the appropriate agency by virtue of the exercise by the appropriate agency of any power to acquire property by agreement or compulsorily.

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.
