Propose a change

Fisheries Act 1891

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

4 Punishment for violation of Article 4 of Declaration.

If either within or without British fishery limits, any person belonging to a British sea fishing boat acts in contravention of Article Four of the Scheduled Declaration, he shall be liable to the like penalty as for a contravention of Articles thirteen to twenty-two of the First Schedule to the Sea Fisheries Act 1883. Provided that if the Scheduled Declaration ceases to be binding on Her Majesty, this section shall cease to apply in the case of injuries to the gear or boat of a fisherman being a subject of the foreign State party to the Declaration, but shall nevertheless continue to apply as between British subjects.

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.
