Propose a change

The Environmental Protection (Plastic Plates etc. and Polystyrene Containers etc.) (England) Regulations 2023

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.

13 Review

(1) The Secretary of State must— (a) as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the period of three years from the date on which these Regulations come into force carry out a review of the operation of the provisions in Part 4 (enforcement and civil sanctions) and Schedule 1; (b) from time to time carry out a review of the regulatory provision contained in these Regulations (including Part 4 and Schedule 1); and (c) publish a report setting out the conclusions of any review. (2) In the case of a review under paragraph (1)(a)— (a) section 67 of the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008 requires that the review must in particular consider whether the provision has implemented its objectives efficiently and effectively; (b) the Secretary of State, in conducting the review, must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate; and (c) the Secretary of State must lay a copy of the report under paragraph (1)(c) before Parliament. (3) In the case of a review under paragraph (1)(b)— (a) the first report must be published before the expiry of the period ending five years from the date on which these Regulations come into force; (b) subsequent reports must be published at intervals not exceeding five years; and (c) section 30(4) of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 requires that a report published under this regulation must, in particular— (i) set out the objectives intended to be achieved by the regulatory provision referred to in paragraph (1)(b); (ii) assess the extent to which those objectives are achieved; (iii) assess whether those objectives remain appropriate; and (iv) if those objectives remain appropriate, assess the extent to which they could be achieved in another way which involves less onerous regulatory provision. (4) In this regulation “regulatory provision” has the same meaning as in sections 28 to 32 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (see section 32 of 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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.

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.
