Propose a change

Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001

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

58 Pathogens and toxins in relation to which requirements under Part 7 apply

(1) Schedule 5 (which lists the pathogens and toxins in relation to which the requirements of this Part apply) has effect. (2) The Secretary of State may by order modify any provision of Schedule 5 (including the notes). (3) The Secretary of State may not add any pathogen or toxin to that Schedule unless he is satisfied that the pathogen or toxin could be used in an act of terrorism to endanger life or cause serious harm to human health. (4) In this Part “dangerous substance” means— (a) anything which consists of or includes a substance for the time being mentioned in Schedule 5; or (b) anything which is infected with or otherwise carries any such substance. (5) But something otherwise falling within subsection (4) is not to be regarded as a dangerous substance if— (a) it satisfies prescribed conditions; or (b) it is kept or used in prescribed circumstances.

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.
