Propose a change

Environment and Safety Information Act 1988

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

1 Maintaining of and access to registers.

(1) An authority to which this Act applies shall— (a) maintain a register of such notices relevant for the purposes of this Act as are served after the coming into force of this Act by the authority or by a person authorised by the authority or for whom the authority is the responsible authority; (b) ensure that the register is adequately indexed so as to enable entries relating to any particular premises (or, where the notice does not relate to any particular premises, to any particular person) to be located; (c) ensure that the register and the index are open to inspection by the public free of charge at all reasonable hours; (d) on request, and upon payment of any such reasonable fee as the authority may require, supply copies of entries in the register to any person inspecting the register. (2) Each entry in the register shall state sufficient particulars to convey the substance of the notice to which it relates. (3) Any authority which is required to maintain a register under this section may discharge that duty by maintaining different registers containing entries relating to different areas. (4) Any register under this section may be kept by means of a computer.

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.
