Propose a change

Aviation and Maritime Security 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.

What to do with it
As published

35 Detention of ships.

(1) Where an authorised person is satisfied that the owner, charterer, manager or master of a ship has failed to comply with— (a) a direction given to him under section 21 or 24 of this Act in respect of that ship, or (b) an enforcement notice which has been served on him in respect of that ship and which relates to such a direction, and the authorised person certifies in writing to that effect, stating particulars of the non-compliance, the ship may be detained until the authorised person otherwise directs. (2) Where the authorised person does not himself detain the ship, he shall deliver the certificate to the officer detaining the ship. (3) On detaining the ship, the authorised person or other officer shall deliver to the master of the ship a copy of the certificate. (4) Section 284 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (enforcement of detention of ships) applies in the case of detention under this section as if it were authorised or ordered under that Act.

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.
