Propose a change

Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Act 2026

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

18 Consultation: Scotland and Northern Ireland

(1) The Secretary of State must consult the Scottish Ministers before making regulations under section 14 that contain provision that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament. (2) The Secretary of State must consult the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs in Northern Ireland before making regulations under section 14 that contain provision that— (a) would be within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly if it were contained in an Act of that Assembly, and (b) would not, if it were contained in a Bill in the Northern Ireland Assembly, result in the Bill requiring the consent of the Secretary of State under section 8 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998. (3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply where the Secretary of State considers that the regulations need to be made urgently in order to give effect to a measure adopted under Article 24(1) of the Agreement (decisions to adopt measures to be applied on an emergency basis).

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.
