Propose a change

Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) 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

4B Expedited procedure: process

(1) This section applies where the acquiring authority has executed a general vesting declaration under the expedited procedure. (2) A person may, at any time before the end of the period of four weeks beginning with the date on which the general vesting declaration is executed, make representations to the acquiring authority that the expedited procedure is not available in relation to the declaration. (3) The representations need not be in writing. (4) The acquiring authority must provide a written response to the representations before the end of the period of seven days beginning with the day on which it received them. (5) If, at any time between the execution of the general vesting declaration and the vesting date, the acquiring authority becomes aware of a reason why the expedited procedure is not available (whether as a result of representations or otherwise), the authority must amend the general vesting declaration so that the period specified in it complies with section 4(1ZA)(b) (period of at least three months from service of notices). (6) If the acquiring authority amends the general vesting declaration under subsection (5), it must serve notice of the amendment on— (a) every person who has made representations under subsection (2), and (b) every person who was served a notice about the declaration under section 6.

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.
