Propose a change

Colonial Stock Act 1948 (repealed 19.11.1998)

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 Stock may be made transferable by instrument in writing.

(1) Regulations made under section sixteen of the Colonial Stock Act 1877 may, notwithstanding anything in that Act or in the Colonial Stock Act 1892, provide that the stock to which the regulations relate shall be transferable by instrument in writing in accordance with the regulations or by an exempt transfer, within the meaning of the Stock Transfer Act 1982, but in no other manner: Provided that regulations shall not be made for the purpose specified in this subsection with respect to any stock unless authority for the making of regulations for that purpose has been given by a law of the legislature or other authority having power to make laws for the Dominion, colony or territory of whose public debt the stock forms part. (2) This section applies as well to stock issued before, as to stock issued after, the passing of this Act, or the Stock Transfer Act 1982 and, accordingly, in relation to stock issued before the passing of this Act, or the Stock Transfer Act 1982 so much of the said section sixteen as requires regulations thereunder to be made before the issue of the stock shall not apply to regulations made for the purpose specified in subsection (1) of this section and the regulations, when made, shall have effect notwithstanding anything in any previous regulations applicable to the stock and notwithstanding anything in the terms on which the stock was issued.

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.
