Propose a change

Food and Environment Protection Act 1985

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

8A Electronic communications apparatus: operations in tidal waters etc

(1) The Scottish Ministers must not issue a licence to carry out any operation which amounts to, or involves the exercise of, a right conferred by Part 9 of Schedule 3A of the Communications Act 2003 (the electronic communications code) unless they are satisfied that adequate compensation arrangements have been made. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) “adequate compensation arrangements” are adequate arrangements for compensating any persons— (a) who appear to the Scottish Ministers to be owners of interests in the tidal water or lands on, under or over which the right is to be exercised, (b) for any loss or damage sustained by those persons in consequence of the operation being carried out.

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.
