Propose a change

Welsh Language Act 1967 (repealed 21.12.1993)

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

3 Provisions supplementary to s. 2.

(1) Subject to subsection (2) of this section, anything done in Welsh in a version authorised by section 2 of this Act shall have the like effect as if done in English. (2) Any power to prescribe conditions conferred by the said section 2 shall, without prejudice to the generality of that power, include power— (a) to provide that in case of any discrepancy between an English and a Welsh text the English text shall prevail; (b) to prescribe conditions subject to which a document containing a version authorised by the said section 2 of any provisions of another document shall be treated as a true copy of that other document. (3) Any provision authorising the use of a document or words to the like effect as a document or words of which a version is prescribed by virtue of the said section 2, or authorising the adaptation of a document or words of which a version is so prescribed, shall apply to the version as it applies to the original document or words. (4) The power to make an order conferred by subsection (1) of the said section 2 shall be exercisable by statutory instrument and shall include power to vary or revoke an order under that subsection by a subsequent order thereunder; and any statutory instrument made in pursuance of this subsection shall be laid before Parliament after being made.

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.
