Propose a change

Railways (Electrical Power) Act 1903

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 Board of Trade inquiries.

(1) Before making an order under this Act, the Board of Trade shall be satisfied that the public notice, required by rules made under this Act, of the application for the order has been given, and shall consider any objections, made by the council of any county, any local authority or other person, to the application in accordance with those rules, and give to those by whom the objection is made an opportunity of being heard, and, if after consideration the Board decide that the objection should be upheld, the Board shall not make the order or shall modify the order so as to remove the objection. (2) The Board of Trade may, if they think fit, hold a local inquiry for the purpose of considering any application for an order under this Act, and the Board of Trade Arbitrations, &c. Act 1874, shall apply to any inquiry so held as if— (a) the inquiry was held on an application made in pursuance of the special Act; and (b) the parties making the application for the order and any person objecting to any such application were parties to the application within the meaning of section three 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.
