Propose a change

British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1943

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.

As published

4 Special power to grant certificates of naturalization to French nationals serving in His Majesty's forces

If at any time during the present war period an application for a certificate of naturalization is made to the Secretary of State by any person appearing to him to be or to have been at any time during that period a French national, then if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the applicant— (a) is, or has at any time during that period been, a member of His Majesty's forces; and (b) is a proper person to be naturalized as a British subject, the Secretary of State may grant to the applicant a certificate of naturalization under section two of the principal Act notwithstanding that the requirements of subsection (1) of that section are not complied with.

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.
