Propose a change

Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014

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

116 Conversion of company into a society: member's shareholding in company exceeds maximum permitted amount

(1) This section applies in relation to a resolution under section 115 where the nominal value of the company's shares held by a member other than a registered society exceeds the amount specified in section 24(1) (maximum shareholding). (2) The resolution may provide for the conversion of the shares representing that excess into a transferable loan stock— (a) bearing such rate of interest as may be fixed, and (b) repayable on such conditions as are determined by the resolution.

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.
