Propose a change

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006

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

79 Agreement between designated bodies

(1) A designated body (“A”) may, with the approval of the Secretary of State, enter into an agreement with another designated body (“B”) authorising B to perform a function of A that is related to or connected with a DEFRA or DESNZ function— (a) either in relation to the whole of England or in relation to specified areas in England; (b) subject to paragraph (a), either generally or in specified cases. “Specified” means specified in the agreement. (2) The Secretary of State's approval may be given— (a) in relation to a particular agreement or in relation to a description of agreements; (b) unconditionally or subject to conditions specified in the approval. (3) Subject to subsection (5), the Secretary of State— (a) must review an agreement under this section no later than the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the agreement was entered into or was last reviewed by the Secretary of State, and (b) if it appears appropriate to do so in the light of the review, may cancel the agreement. (4) Subject to subsection (5), an agreement under this section may not be varied except— (a) by agreement between A and B, and (b) with the approval of the Secretary of State. (5) An approval given under subsection (1) may provide that subsection (3) or (4) does not apply (or that both of them do not apply). (6) This section is subject to sections 81 and 82 (reserved functions and maximum duration of agreement).

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.
