Propose a change

Factories Act 1937

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

(1) There shall be kept in every factory, or in such place outside the factory as may be approved by the inspector for the district, a register, in the prescribed form, called the general register, and there shall be entered in or attached to that register— (a) the prescribed particulars as to the young persons employed in the factory; and (b) the prescribed particulars as to the washing, whitewashing or colour washing, painting or varnishing, of the factory; and (c) the prescribed particulars as to every accident and case of industrial disease occurring in the factory of which notice is required to be sent to an inspector; and (d) particulars showing every special exception of which the occupier of the factory avails himself ; and (e) all reports and particulars required by any other provision of this Act to be entered in or attached to the general register; and (f) such other matters as may be prescribed. (2) There shall be attached to the general register a copy of the certificate of the district council relating to means of escape in the case of fire. (3) The occupier of a factory shall send to an inspector such extracts from the general register as the inspector may from time to time require for the purpose of the execution of his duties under this Act.

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.
