Propose a change

Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries (Protection) (Scotland) Act 1951 (repealed)

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

16 Packages of salmon or trout to be marked.

(1) No person shall consign or send by any common or other carrier any salmon, sea trout or trout unless the package containing the salmon, sea trout or trout is marked conspicuously on the outside thereof with the word “salmon”, “sea trout” or “trout”, as the case may be, and the name and address of the sender. (2) Any of the following persons, that is to say— (a) any person appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State; (b) any officer of a district board acting within the district of that board or in any adjoining district; or (c) any constable; may open any package consigned or sent, or brought to any place to be consigned or sent, and suspected to contain salmon, sea trout or trout, and if any such package is found to contain salmon, sea trout or trout and is not marked in accordance with this section, or if there is reasonable cause to suspect that the salmon, sea trout or trout contained in any marked package is being dealt with contrary to law, may detain the package and the contents thereof pending proceedings for an offence against this Act. If, before the conclusion of such proceedings, any salmon, sea trout or trout so detained becomes unfit for human food, any such person as aforesaid may destroy the same or cause the same to be destroyed. (3) If any person contravenes this section or refuses to allow any person acting under the authority thereof to exercise the powers conferred thereby, or obstructs any such person in the exercise of those powers, he shall be guilty of an offence against this Act.

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.
