Propose a change

Fisheries Act 2020

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

30 Catches subject to a charge ignored for certain regulatory purposes

(1) A charging scheme may provide that if— (a) a charge is payable in respect of an unauthorised catch of sea fish, and (b) such other conditions as may be prescribed by or in accordance with the scheme are met, the catch is to be ignored in determining (for any purpose) whether a relevant regulatory breach has occurred. (2) For this purpose “a relevant regulatory breach” means the catching by a fishing boat of a quantity of sea fish which— (a) by virtue of a limit imposed under section 15(2) on the authority conferred by the fishing boat's sea fishing licence, constitutes a contravention of the prohibition in section 14(1), or (b) constitutes a breach of a condition attached under paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the fishing boat's sea fishing licence. (3) The conditions which may be prescribed by virtue of subsection (1)(b) include any condition that could be contained in an English sea fishing licence.

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.
