Propose a change

Government and Other Stocks (Emergency Provisions) Act 1939

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

SCHEDULE Conditions the fulfilment of which may be required for the completion of a transfer

Section 1 (a) The person keeping the books or register in which stock is inscribed shall not be required to complete a transfer thereof until the expiration of at least ten days from the date on which the instrument of transfer was delivered to that person, or until the expiration of at least three days from the date on which a reply from the transferor to any notice sent by that person informing the transferor of the proposed transfer would, if posted immediately after the receipt of the notice, reach that person in the ordinary course of post; and (b) That person may in any case, if he thinks fit, refuse to recognize an instrument of transfer unless there is produced to him such evidence as he may reasonably require as to the identity of the transferor and his right to make the transfer.

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.
