Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025
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
8 Cost recovery
(1) Product regulations or metrology regulations may make provision for a relevant authority to impose fees in respect of any costs incurred by the relevant authority in carrying out functions conferred on the authority by or under such regulations. (2) The regulations may include provision about— (a) who is liable to pay a fee; (b) the circumstances in which a fee is payable; (c) the amount of a fee (including how an amount is to be calculated); (d) reductions, exemptions and waivers; (e) how and when a fee is to be paid; (f) the collection and recovery of payments; (g) interest payable on outstanding payments; (h) the resolution of disputes (including appeals to a court or tribunal). (3) Provision under subsection (2)(a) may only provide for a person to be liable if they are capable of being directly affected by the carrying out of functions conferred by product regulations or, as appropriate, metrology regulations.

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.
