Propose a change

Banking Act 2009

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

209 “Issue”

(1) For the purposes of this Part a banknote is issued when it passes— (a) from a person who holds it not as bearer but as a person carrying on the business of banking (“the issuing bank”), and (b) to a person taking as bearer (“the bearer”). (2) In subsection (1)(a) the reference to a banknote passing from the issuing bank includes a reference to it passing— (a) from the issuing bank's agent, or (b) from a person printing or preparing the banknote for, or taking it to, the issuing bank or its agent. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) it does not matter whether the bearer also holds the banknote for use in the business of banking.

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.
