Propose a change

Environmental Protection Act 1990

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

28 Authorisations and other statutory controls.

(1) No condition shall at any time be attached to an authorisation so as to regulate the final disposal by deposit in or on land of controlled waste (within the meaning of Part II), nor shall any condition apply to such a disposal; . . . (2) Where any of the activities comprising a prescribed process are regulated both by an authorisation granted by the enforcing authority under this Part and by an environmental permit granted under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (S.I. 2016/1154) in relation to a radioactive substances activity within the meaning of those Regulations, then, if different obligations are imposed as respects the same matter by a condition attached to the authorisation under this Part and a condition attached to the environmental permit, the condition imposed by the authorisation under this Part shall be treated as not binding the person carrying on the process.

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.
