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
As published

41 Security to be given by certain officers

(1) This section applies to an officer of a registered society who receives or is in charge of money. (2) If the society's rules so require, the officer must (before undertaking the duties of office) give security in such sum as the society's committee may direct conditioned for— (a) the officer rendering an accurate account of all moneys received and paid by the officer on account of the society, at such times as its rules provide or as the society or its committee requires, and (b) the payment of all sums due from the officer to the society. (3) The security must be given by the officer— (a) becoming bound, with or without a surety (or, in Scotland, cautioner) as the society's committee may require, in a bond in one of the forms set out in Schedule 1 or in such other form as the committee may approve, or (b) giving the security of a guarantee society.

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.
