Propose a change

Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986

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

5 Project licences: general

(1) A project licence is a licence granted by the Secretary of State which specifies a programme of work and authorises the application, as part of that programme, of specified regulated procedures to animals of specified descriptions at a specified place or specified places. (2) A place may not be specified in a project licence unless it is a place at which a person is authorised by a section 2C licence to carry on an undertaking involving the applying of regulated procedures to protected animals. (3) But subsection (2) does not apply in any case in which it appears to the Secretary of State, on the basis of a scientific justification, that the programme or procedures authorised by the project licence require a different place to be specified. (4) A project licence may specify a programme of work which consists of multiple generic projects if the projects— (a) are to be carried out to satisfy regulatory requirements, or (b) use animals for production or diagnostic purposes, in accordance with established methods.

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.
