Propose a change

New Towns Act 1981

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

72 Application and exclusion of certain enactments.

(1) Any property— (a) vested in any person by virtue of an order under section 40 or section 41 above transferring that property from a development corporation ..., or (b) of a new town corporation vested in a district council by a transfer scheme under Part III of this Act, shall not be treated as so vested by way of sale for the purpose of section 12 of the Finance Act 1895 (stamp duty on certain statutory transfers by way of sale).

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.
