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

38 Section 37: variation and revocation of nominations

(1) In this section “nomination” means a nomination under section 37. (2) A member's nomination may be varied or revoked by— (a) a subsequent nomination by the member, or (b) any similar document in the nature of a revocation or variation signed by the member and delivered at or sent to the society's registered office during the member's lifetime. (3) A member's nomination is not revocable or variable by the member's will (or by any codicil to the will). (4) Any nomination made by a member who subsequently marries or forms a civil partnership is revoked by the marriage or formation of the civil partnership. (5) But if any of the member's property is transferred by an officer of the society in pursuance of the nomination in ignorance of the marriage or civil partnership, the nominee's receipt is a valid discharge to the society (and the society is under no liability to any other person claiming the property).

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.
