Propose a change

Medicines Act 1968

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

114 Supplementary provisions as to rights of entry and related rights.

(1) Any person entering any property (that is to say, any premises, ship, ... vehicle, stall or place) by virtue of section 111 of this Act (whether in pursuance of a warrant or not) may take with him such other persons and such equipment as may appear to him to be necessary; and on leaving any such property which he has entered in pursuance of a warrant under that section he shall, if the property is unoccupied or the occupier (or, in the case of a ship, ... vehicle, stall or place, the master... or other person in charge of it) is temporarily absent, leave it as effectively secured against trespass as he found it. (2) Any person who— (a) wilfully obstructs a person acting in pursuance of this Act and duly authorised so to act by an enforcement authority, or (b) wilfully fails to comply with any requirement properly made to him by a person so acting under section 112 of this Act, or (c) without reasonable cause fails to give to a person so acting any other assistance or information which that person may reasonably require of him for the purpose of the performance of his functions under this Act, shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale (3) If any person, in giving any such information as is mentioned in subsection (2)(c) of this section, makes any statement which he knows to be false, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable— (a) on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £400; (b) on conviction on indictment, to a fine or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both. (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a person to answer any question or give any information if to do so might incriminate that person or (where that person is married or a civil partner) the spouse or civil partner of that person.

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.
