Propose a change

Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas 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.

What to do with it
As published

9H Stop notices: supplementary provisions

(1) A stop notice ceases to have effect when— (a) the scheduled monument enforcement notice to which it relates is withdrawn or quashed, (b) the period for compliance expires, or (c) notice of the withdrawal of the stop notice is served under section 9G(7), whichever occurs first. (2) Where a requirement of the scheduled monument enforcement notice to which a stop notice relates is waived or relaxed by virtue of section 9B(5) so that the scheduled monument enforcement notice no longer relates to any relevant works, the stop notice ceases to have effect in relation to those works. (3) Where a stop notice has been served in respect of a scheduled monument Historic Environment Scotland may publicise it by displaying on the land in, on or under which the monument is situated or on the monument (except where doing so might damage it) a notice (in this section and in sections 6 and 9J referred to as a “site notice”)— (a) stating that a stop notice has been served on a particular person or persons, (b) indicating its requirements, and (c) stating that any person contravening it may be prosecuted for an offence under section 9J. (4) A stop notice is not invalid by reason that a copy of the scheduled monument enforcement notice to which it relates was not served as required by section 9B if it is shown that Historic Environment Scotland took all such steps as were reasonably practicable to effect proper service.

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.
