Propose a change

Companies Act 1976

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

40 Application of this Act to certain companies not formed under the Act of 1948

Your change, as a redline

40 Application of this Act to certain companies not formed under the Act of 1948

Part VII of the Act of 1948 (which relates to companies formed or registered under the former Acts there mentioned) and section 394 of that Act (which relates to companies not formed under that Act but registering under it) shall apply for the purpose of the application of the provisions of this Act to such companies as aforesaid as they apply for the purpose of the application thereto of the provisions of the Act of 1948.

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.
