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

83ZS Determination of sanctions

When determining the type of sanction, and level of any penalty, to be imposed on a person under section 83ZR, the Bank of England must take into account all relevant circumstances, including where appropriate— (a) the gravity and the duration of the failure, (b) the degree of responsibility of the person, (c) the financial strength of the person, (d) the amount of profits gained or losses avoided by the person, (e) the losses for third parties caused by the failure, (f) the level of co-operation of the person with the Bank, (g) previous failures by the person, and (h) any potential systemic consequences of the failure.

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.
