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.

Change 1

What to do with it

(1) A person commits an offence if, with intent to mislead or defraud, the person gives to any other person— (a) a copy of any rules other than the registered rules of a registered society on the pretence that they are the society's existing rules or that there are no other rules of the society, or (b) a copy of the rules of a society which is not a registered society on the pretence that they are the rules of a registered society. (2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale.

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.
