Propose a change

Communications Act 2003

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

105J Duty to inform users of risk of security compromise

(1) This section applies where there is a significant risk of a security compromise occurring in relation to a public electronic communications network or a public electronic communications service. (2) The provider of the network or service must take such steps as are reasonable and proportionate for the purpose of bringing the relevant information, expressed in clear and plain language, to the attention of persons who use the network or service and may be adversely affected by the security compromise. (3) The relevant information is— (a) the existence of the risk of the security compromise occurring; (b) the nature of the security compromise; (c) the technical measures that it may be reasonably practicable for persons who use the network or service to take for the purposes of— (i) preventing the security compromise adversely affecting them; (ii) remedying or mitigating the adverse effect that the security compromise has on them; and (d) the name and contact details of a person from whom further information may be obtained about the security compromise.

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.
