(2) The Secretary of State must, before the end of each relevant period— (a) review the extent to which the country’s government is continuing to act in a way that, in the opinion of Secretary of State, has or is likely to have any of the consequences mentioned in section 71(1), and (b) in light of that review, determine whether it is appropriate to amend the visa penalty provision. (3) If, at any time, the Secretary of State forms the opinion that, despite the fact that the country’s government has taken or is taking action as mentioned in section 71(1), the visa penalty provision is not necessary or expedient in connection with— (a) the promotion of international peace and security, (b) the resolution or prevention of armed conflict, or (c) the promotion of compliance with international humanitarian law, the Secretary of State must as soon as practicable revoke the visa penalty provision. (4) Each of the following is a relevant period— (a) the period of 2 months beginning with the day on which the visa penalty provision came into force; (b) each subsequent period of 2 months.

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.
