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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

80 Designated bodies

(1) In this Chapter “designated body” means a body listed in Schedule 7. (2) The Secretary of State may by order amend Schedule 7 so as to— (a) add a body to the list, or (b) remove a body from it. (3) But the Secretary of State may not exercise the power conferred by subsection (2)(a) unless satisfied that at least one of the purposes or functions of the body to be added to the list is related to or connected with a DEFRA or DESNZ function. (4) A body to be added to the list need not be a public body. (5) The power to make an order under subsection (2) is exercisable by statutory instrument.

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.
