Propose a change

Countryside Act 1968

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

Your change, as a redline

38 Avoidance of pollution.

In the exercise of their functions under this Act and the Act of 1949 it shall be the duty of Natural England , the NRBW , the Forestry Agency and local authorities to have due regard to the protection against pollution of any water, whether on the surface or underground, which belongs to the Environment Agency, the NRBW or a water undertaker or which the Agency, the NRBW or a water undertaker is for the time being authorised to take.

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.
