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.

As published

247 Meaning of “radio licensable content services”

(1) In this Part “radio licensable content service” means (subject to section 248) any service falling within subsection (2) in so far as it is provided with a view to its availability for reception by members of the public being secured by one or both of the following means— (a) the broadcasting of the service (whether by the person providing it or by another) from a satellite; or (b) the distribution of the service (whether by that person or by another) by any means involving the use of an electronic communications network. (2) A service falls within this subsection if it— (a) consists of sound programmes; and (b) is provided (whether in digital or in analogue form) as a service that is to be made available for reception by members of the public.

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.
