Propose a change

Space Industry Act 2018

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

33 Power to authorise entry etc in emergencies

(1) The Secretary of State may grant an enforcement authorisation if satisfied— (a) that the conduct or the expected conduct of persons involved in or associated with spaceflight activities that are being carried out, or are about to be carried out, gives rise to— (i) a serious risk to national security, (ii) a serious risk of contravention of any international obligation of the United Kingdom, or (iii) a serious risk to the health or safety of persons, and (b) that the case is one of urgency. (2) An enforcement authorisation is an authorisation by which a named person is authorised to do anything necessary— (a) for protecting the national security of the United Kingdom (where subsection (1)(a)(i) applies); (b) for securing compliance with the international obligations of the United Kingdom (where subsection (1)(a)(ii) applies); (c) for protecting the health or safety of persons (where subsection (1)(a)(iii) applies). (3) The Secretary of State may grant an enforcement authorisation to a person only if satisfied that the person is suitably qualified to carry out the action to be authorised by it. (4) An enforcement authorisation— (a) must be in writing; (b) must specify the action authorised. (5) An enforcement authorisation may authorise entry on to specified premises at any time and on production, if so required, of the authorisation. (6) The powers conferred by an enforcement authorisation include— (a) power for the named person to take with him or her a person authorised by the Secretary of State or, if the named person has reasonable cause to believe that he or she is likely to be obstructed, a constable; (b) power to use reasonable force, if necessary. (7) An enforcement authorisation remains in force for 48 hours from the time when it is granted. (8) It is an offence intentionally to obstruct a person in the exercise of the powers conferred by an enforcement authorisation.

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.

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.
