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

9 Existing holdings

(1) In its application to the following activities, section 1(1) shall have effect with the omission of the words “if done with appropriate consent”— (a) the storage of an existing holding for use for a purpose specified in Schedule 1; (b) the use of an existing holding for a purpose so specified. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the existing holding is a body, or separated part of a body, in relation to which section 10(3) or (5) has effect. (3) Section 5(1) and (2) shall have effect as if the activities mentioned in subsection (1) were not activities to which section 1(1) applies. (4) In this section, “existing holding” means— (a) the body of a deceased person, or (b) relevant material which has come from a human body, held, immediately before the day on which section 1(1) comes into force, for use for a purpose specified in Schedule 1.

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.
