Propose a change

Voluntary Hospitals (Paying Patients) Act 1936

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

5 Power to Charity Commission to make rules.

(1) The Charity Commission may make rules in relation to applications for Orders and proceedings in connection therewith, and to the publication of notices and advertisements and the manner in which and the time within which representations of objections with reference to any application or other proceedings are to be made, and to the holding of inquiries in such cases as it may think advisable and to any other matters arising under or in pursuance of this Act. (2) Any rules made in pursuance of this section shall be laid before Parliament as soon as may be after they are made. (3) The Charity Commission may require such sum as it may determine to represent costs or expenses incurred by it in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by this Act (including a sum in respect of the services of a member of staff engaged in an inquiry) to be provided out of any funds, being funds under the control of the committee of management of the hospital in relation to which the expenses are incurred, whether representing capital or income, which in the opinion of the Charity Commission may properly be made applicable for that purpose.

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.
