Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967

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

25 Repeals, savings and consequential amendment.

(1) The Acts specified in the Schedule to this Act shall be repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that schedule. (2) In so far as any order, Order in Council, notice or licence made, given or granted under any enactment repealed by this Act, or any other thing done under any such enactment, could have been made, given, granted or done under a corresponding provision of this Act, it shall not be invalidated by the repeals effected by this section but shall have effect as if made, given, granted or done under that corresponding provision. (3) Without prejudice to subsection (2) above, any reference in this Act to a thing done under any provision of this Act shall, except where the context otherwise requires, be construed as including a reference to the corresponding thing done under the corresponding provision of the enactments repealed by this Act. (4) Where any Act or any document refers, either expressly or by implication, to an enactment repealed by this Act, the reference shall, except where the context otherwise requires, be construed as, or as including, a reference to the corresponding provision of this Act. (5) For the purpose of determining the punishment (by fine, imprisonment, forfeiture or any one or more of them) which may be imposed on a person in respect of an offence under any provision of this Act, an offence committed by that person under the corresponding enactment repealed by this Act shall be deemed to have been committed under that provision. (6) Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall be taken as prejudicing the operation of section 38 of the Interpretation Act 1889 (which relates to the effect of repeals). (7) In section 10 of the White Fish and Herring Industries Act 1948 (which defines “the Ministers”) for the words “the last mentioned Secretary of State” there shall be substituted the words “the Secretary of State concerned with the sea-fishing industry in Northern Ireland”.

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.
