Propose a change

Control of Pollution Act 1974

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

20 Reclamation of waste.

Without prejudice to the powers of disposal authorities apart from this section, any disposal authority may— (a) do such things as the authority considers appropriate for the purpose of— (i) enabling waste belonging to the authority, or belonging to another person who requests the authority to deal with it in pursuance of this section, to be used again, or (ii) enabling substances to be reclaimed from such waste; (b) buy or otherwise acquire waste with a view to its being used again or to the reclamation of substances from it; and (c) use, sell or otherwise dispose of waste belonging to the authority or anything produced from such waste.

Your change, as a redline

20 Reclamation of waste.

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.
