Propose a change

Guardianship Act 1973 (repealed 1.11.1996)

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

SCHEDULE 1 Provisions Substituted for Sexual Offences Act 1956 s. 38

Section 1. On a person’s conviction of an offence under section 10 of this Act against a girl under the age of eighteen, or of an offence under section 11 of this Act against a boy under that age, or of attempting to commit such an offence, the court may by order divest that person of all authority over the girl or boy. An order divesting a person of authority over a girl or boy under the forgoing subsection may, if that person is the guardian of the girl or boy, remove that person from the guardianship. An order under this section may may appoint a person to be the guardian of the girl or boy during his or her minority or any less period. An order under this section may be varied from time to time or rescinded by the High court and, if made on conviction of an offence against a girl or boy who is a defective, may, so far has it has effect for any purposes of the Mental Health Act 1959, be rescinded either before or after the girl or boy has attained the age of eighteen.

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.
