Propose a change

Gambling Act 2005

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

129 Exemption for small-scale operators

(1) A condition may not be attached to an operating licence under section 75, 77 or 78 requiring possession of a personal licence if the licensee is a small-scale operator. (2) In this section “small-scale operator” shall have such meaning as the Secretary of State may prescribe by regulations. (3) Regulations under subsection (2) may, in particular, make provision by reference to— (a) the size or value of business carried on, or expected to be carried on, in reliance on an operating licence; (b) the number of persons employed, or expected to be employed, by the licensee. (4) A constable or enforcement officer may under section 108(1) require a small-scale operator to produce his operating licence— (a) within a specified period, or (b) while the operator is carrying on a licensed activity, immediately.

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.
