Propose a change

Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Act 1997

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

3 Power to prescribe hazardous substances.

(1) For the purposes of this Act the Secretary of State— (a) shall by regulations specify— (i) the substances that are hazardous substances, and (ii) the quantity which is to be the controlled quantity of any such substance, and (b) may by regulations provide that, except in such circumstances as may be prescribed, all hazardous substances falling within a group specified in the regulations are to be treated as a single substance. (2) Regulations which— (a) are made by virtue of subsection (1)(a)(i), or (b) are made by virtue of subsection (1)(a)(ii) and reduce the controlled quantity of a substance, may make such transitional provision as appears to the Secretary of State to be appropriate. (3) Regulations under this section may make different provision for different cases or descriptions of cases.

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.
