Propose a change

Human Tissue Act 2004

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

6 Activities involving material from adults who lack capacity to consent

(1) Where— (a) an activity of a kind mentioned in section 1(1)(d) or (f) involves material from the body of a person who— (i) is an adult, and (ii) lacks capacity to consent to the activity, and (b) neither a decision of his to consent to the activity, nor a decision of his not to consent to it, is in force, there shall for the purposes of this Part be deemed to be consent of his to the activity if it is done in circumstances of a kind specified by regulations made by the Secretary of State. (2) This section does not apply in relation to transplantation activities done in Wales. (For provision in these circumstances see section 9 of the Human Transplantation (Wales) Act 2013).

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.
