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

69 Directories and directory enquiry facilities

(1) This section applies where universal service conditions require a designated universal service provider— (a) to supply a directory capable of being used in connection with the use of an electronic communications network or electronic communications service; or (b) to make available directory enquiry facilities capable of being used for purposes connected with use of such a network or service. (2) The universal service conditions applied to the provider must include the conditions that OFCOM consider appropriate for securing that the provider does not unduly discriminate against a source of relevant information— (a) in the compiling of the directory or the answering of directory enquiries; or (b) in the treatment in the directory, or for the purposes of the facilities, of any relevant information from that source. (3) In this section— (a) references to relevant information are references to information provided for inclusion in the directory or for use in the answering of directory enquiries; and (b) references to a source of relevant information are references to a communications provider or designated universal service provider who provides relevant information.

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.
