Propose a change

Animal Welfare Act 2006

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

36 Section 35: supplementary

(1) The court by which an order under section 35 is made may— (a) appoint a person to carry out, or arrange for the carrying out of, the order; (b) require any person who has possession of an animal to which the order applies to deliver it up to enable the order to be carried out; (c) give directions with respect to the carrying out of the order; (d) confer additional powers (including power to enter premises where an animal to which the order applies is being kept) for the purpose of, or in connection with, the carrying out of the order; (e) order the person subject to disqualification, or another person, to reimburse the expenses of carrying out the order. (2) Directions under subsection (1)(c) may— (a) specify the manner in which an animal is to be disposed of, or (b) delegate the decision about the manner in which an animal is to be disposed of to a person appointed under subsection (1)(a). (3) In determining how to exercise its powers under section 35 and this section, the court shall have regard, amongst other things, to— (a) the desirability of protecting the value of any animal to which the order applies, and (b) the desirability of avoiding increasing any expenses which a person may be ordered to reimburse. (4) In determining how to exercise a power delegated under subsection (2)(b), a person shall have regard, amongst other things, to the things mentioned in subsection (3)(a) and (b). (5) If the owner of an animal ordered to be disposed of under section 35 is subject to a liability by virtue of subsection (1)(e), any amount to which he is entitled as a result of sale of the animal may be reduced by an amount equal to that liability.

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.
