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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

36T Powers of slaughter: TSE

(1) With a view to preventing the spread of any form of TSE, the Scottish Ministers may, if they think fit, cause any livestock to which this subsection applies to be slaughtered. (2) Subsection (1) applies to livestock— (a) whose genotype is specified by virtue of section 36N; and (b) in relation to whose genotype the form of TSE concerned is so specified. (3) Subsection (1) also applies to livestock whose genotype is not ascertained because— (a) it is not reasonable in the circumstances, by reason of urgency or otherwise, to seek to ascertain the genotype; or (b) the genotype cannot, in the absence for the time being of scientific knowledge, established method or otherwise, reasonably be ascertained.

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.
