The Animal Welfare (Livestock Exports) Enforcement Regulations 2024

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

5 Hold notice

(1) If an inspector considers relevant livestock are being exported, or are to be exported, from Great Britain in contravention of section 1 of the Act, the inspector may serve a hold notice on the person appearing to the inspector to be in charge of the relevant livestock. (2) A hold notice is a notice in writing— (a) prohibiting the export of the relevant livestock, either indefinitely or for a certain period; or (b) requiring such other steps to be taken as the inspector considers necessary for the purposes of ensuring that the relevant livestock are not exported in contravention of the Act. (3) A hold notice may in particular— (a) require the relevant livestock to be returned to their place of departure via the most direct route; or (b) require the relevant livestock to be unloaded and held in suitable accommodation with appropriate care until suitable alternative arrangements are made. (4) An inspector must give reasons for a hold notice. (5) An inspector may at any time amend, suspend or withdraw a hold notice by a further notice in writing. (6) Where it is necessary for identification purposes, an inspector may mark an animal. (7) Where a person fails to comply with a hold notice, an inspector may arrange for such steps to be taken as the inspector considers necessary to ensure that the hold notice is complied with. (8) The person in default of a hold notice must re-imburse any reasonable expenses incurred by the enforcement authority in the taking of such steps, and any such debt is recoverable as a civil debt. (9) A hold notice must be complied with at the expense of the person on whom it is served, except where otherwise provided in that notice. (10) It is an offence to fail to comply with a hold notice. (11) In this regulation “place of departure” has the same meaning as it has in Article 2(r) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005.

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.
