Propose a change

Plant Varieties Act 1997

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

29 Fees.

(1) The Ministers may make regulations as respects the charging of fees by the Controller, including periodical fees payable by persons holding plant breeders’ rights. (2) Regulations under subsection (1) above may authorise the Controller— (a) in the case of a failure to pay any fees payable in connection with any application to him under this Part of this Act, to refuse the application, and (b) in the case of a failure by a holder of plant breeders’ rights to pay any fees payable in connection with those rights, to terminate the period for which the grant of those rights has effect; and may provide for the restoration of the application or the rights if the failure to pay fees is made good.

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.
