Propose a change

Radioactive Substances Act 1993

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

1F Radionuclides not of natural terrestrial or cosmic origin in background radioactivity

(1) A substance or article is not radioactive material or radioactive waste where— (a) it is contaminated as a result of a climatic process, or a combination of such processes, by radionuclides which— (i) are not of natural terrestrial or cosmic origin; and (ii) are not present in the substance or article at a concentration that exceeds that found normally in such a substance or article in the United Kingdom; and (b) in the absence of such contamination, the substance or article would not otherwise be radioactive material or radioactive waste under this Act. (2) In this section, a “climatic process” includes wind, precipitation and the general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans.

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.
