Propose a change

Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975

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

18 Provisons supplementary to Part II.

(1) If any person obstructs a person legally authorised whilst he is doing any act authorised by section 9, 10 or 15 above, he shall be guilty of an offence. (2) The appropriate agency shall not— (a) construct, abolish or alter any fish pass, or abolish or alter any free gap, in pursuance of section 10 above, or (b) do any work under section 15 above, unless reasonable notice of its intention to do so (specifying the section in question) has been served on the owner and occupier of the dam, fish pass or free gap, watercourse, mill race, cut, leat, conduit or other channel, with a plan and specification of the proposed work; and the appropriate agency shall take into consideration any objections by the owner or occupier, before doing the proposed work. (3) If any injury is caused— (a) to any dam by reason of the construction, abolition or alteration of a fish pass or the abolition or alteration of a free gap in pursuance of section 10 above; or (b) by anything done by the appropriate agency under section 15 above, any person sustaining any loss as a result may recover from the appropriate agency compensation for the injury sustained.

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.
