Propose a change

Policyholders Protection Act 1975 (repealed)

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

24 Application of general receipts by the Board.

Subject to any arrangement made by the Board under subsection (6) of section 13 above and to any regulations made by the Treasury under subsection (7) of that section, any sums from time to time received by the Board in the course of or in connection with the exercise of any of their functions under this Act, but otherwise than by virtue of any levy imposed under section 19 or 21 above, may be applied by the Board— (a) in so far as the sums are received in repayment or otherwise by virtue of any general business expenditure incurred by the Board, on expenditure of that description only; (b) in so far as the sums are received in repayment or otherwise by virtue of any long term business expenditure incurred by the Board, on expenditure of that description only.

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.
