Propose a change

The Mines Regulations 2014

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.

35 Mine workings in potentially hazardous areas

(1) Before undertaking any working in a mine which would be within— (a) 45 metres (measured in any plane) of— (i) the surface; or (ii) any other potentially hazardous area within the meaning of any of sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii) of regulation 34(3)(b), except disused mine workings; or (b) 37 metres (measured in any plane) of any disused mine workings, the mine operator must assess the risk of the occurrence of an inrush to determine whether precautionary measures are necessary to prevent an inrush. (2) Where the risk assessment indicates that precautionary measures are necessary, the mine operator must ensure that the working is not carried on unless— (a) a suitable scheme of work is prepared which lays down the procedures designed to ensure that an inrush does not occur; and (b) the procedures required by the scheme are implemented. (3) The mine operator must ensure that a copy of the scheme is kept at the mine until the working is completed.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
