Propose a change

Atomic Energy Act 1946

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

8 Compulsory acquisition of prescribed substances, stocks of minerals and plant.

(1) The Minister may, subject to and in accordance with Part I of the Second Schedule to this Act, compulsorily acquire— (a) any prescribed substance; (b) any minerals, being minerals from which in the opinion of the Minister any of the prescribed substances can be obtained, other than minerals in a natural state or contained in a deposit of waste material obtained from any underground or surface working; (c) any plant designed or adapted for the production or use of atomic energy or research into matters connected therewith.

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.
