Propose a change

Animal Health Act 1981

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

28H Suspension of orders pending appeal

(1) The operation of any deprivation order or seizure order is suspended until— (a) any period for an appeal against the order has expired; (b) the period for an appeal against the conviction on which the order depends has expired; and (c) any appeal against the order or that conviction has been withdrawn or finally determined. (2) Where the operation of a deprivation order or seizure order is suspended under subsection (1), or such an order is not executable because decree has not been extracted, the court may make an order under this subsection (an “interim order”) containing such provision as the court considers appropriate in relation to the keeping of an animal for so long as the first-mentioned order remains suspended or inexecutable. (3) An interim order may, in particular, make provision of the sort described in— (a) paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (5) of section 28G; (b) paragraph (a) of subsection (6) of that section. (4) In determining whether or how to make an interim order, the court must have regard to the desirability of— (a) protecting the value of any animal to which the order applies; and (b) avoiding increasing any expenses which a person may be required to reimburse.

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.
