Propose a change

Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000

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

39 Order to remove obstruction.

(1) Where at any time two or more access notices relating to a means of access have been given to any person within the preceding thirty-six months, a magistrates’ court may, on the application of the access authority, order that person— (a) within such time as may be specified in the order, to take such steps as may be so specified to remove any obstruction of that means of access, and (b) not to obstruct that means of access at any time when the right conferred by section 2(1) is exercisable. (2) If a person (“the person in default”) fails to comply with an order under this section— (a) he is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale, and (b) the access authority may remove any obstruction of the means of access and recover from the person in default the costs reasonably incurred by them in doing so. (3) In this section “access notice” means a notice under section 36(3) or 37(1) in respect of which the period specified in the notice has expired, other than a notice in respect of which an appeal is pending or which has been cancelled on appeal.

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.
