Propose a change

Medicines and Medical Devices Act 2021

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.

As published

34 Recovery of expenses of enforcement

(1) This section applies where a court— (a) convicts a person of an offence under— (i) section 28, (ii) regulation 60A of the Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/618) (offence of breaching certain provisions in the Regulations), or (iii) regulation 23 of the Medical Devices (Northern Ireland Protocol) Regulations 2021 (offence of breaching certain provisions), in relation to a medical device, or (b) makes a forfeiture order under section 32 or 33(5) in relation to a medical device. (2) The court may (in addition to any other order it may make as to costs or expenses) order the person convicted or, as the case may be, a person from whom a device is seized or to whom it belongs to reimburse an enforcement authority for any expenditure which the authority has incurred or may incur— (a) in connection with any seizure or detention of the device by or on behalf of the authority, or (b) in connection with giving effect to the forfeiture order.

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.
