Propose a change

Customs Buildings Act 1879

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

3 Copyholds now vested in Customs to remain so, but in trust for Commissioners of Works.

All lands of copyhold or customary tenure which are now vested in the Secretary to the Commissioners of Customs, or any other person in trust for the same Commissioners or for the service of Her Majesty’s Customs, shall remain vested in such secretary or other person, but in trust for the Commissioners of Works for the public service, and shall be subject to the provisions of the Commissioners of Works Act 1852 in all respects as if the same had been acquired under the provisions of that Act.

Your change, as a redline

3 Copyholds now vested in Customs to remain so, but in trust for Commissioners of Works.

All lands of copyhold or customary tenure which are now vested in the Secretary to the Commissioners of Customs, or any other person in trust for the same Commissioners or for the service of Her Majesty’s Customs, shall remain vested in such secretary or other person, but in trust for the Commissioners of Works for the public service, and shall be subject to the provisions of the Commissioners of Works Act 1852 in all respects as if the same had been acquired under the provisions of that Act.

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.
