Propose a change

Customs and Excise Management Act 1979

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

90 Forfeiture of ship , railway vehicle or aircraft unable to account for missing cargo.

Where a ship has been within the limits of any port in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, a railway vehicle has been within the limits of a railway customs area or an aircraft has been in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, with a cargo on board and a substantial part of that cargo is afterwards found in the United Kingdom to be missing, then, if the vehicle operator fails to account therefor to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, the ship, railway vehicle or aircraft shall be liable to forfeiture.

Your change, as a redline

90 Forfeiture of ship , railway vehicle or aircraft unable to account for missing cargo.

Where a ship has been within the limits of any port in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, a railway vehicle has been within the limits of a railway customs area or an aircraft has been in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man, with a cargo on board and a substantial part of that cargo is afterwards found in the United Kingdom to be missing, then, if the vehicle operator fails to account therefor to the satisfaction of the Commissioners, the ship, railway vehicle or aircraft shall be liable to forfeiture.

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.
