Propose a change

Food Safety Act 1990

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

45 Regulations as to charges.

(1) The Secretary of State may make regulations requiring or authorising charges to be imposed by enforcement authorities in respect of things done or to be done by them which they are required or authorised to do by or under this Act. (2) Regulations under this section may include such provision as the Secretary of State see fit as regards charges for which the regulations provide and the recovery of such charges; and nothing in the following provisions shall prejudice this. (3) Regulations under this section may provide that the amount of a charge (if imposed) is to be at the enforcement authority’s discretion or to be at its discretion subject to a maximum or a minimum. (4) Regulations under this section providing that a charge may not exceed a maximum amount, or be less than a minimum amount, may— (a) provide for one amount, or a scale of amounts to cover different prescribed cases; and (b) prescribe, as regards any amount, a sum or a method of calculating the amount.

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.
