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.

What to do with it
As published

76 Modification and revocation of conditions imposed under s. 75

(1) This section applies in the case of conditions falling within section 75(2) which have been set by OFCOM in relation to a particular person (“the system provider”). (2) OFCOM must not give effect to a proposal to modify or revoke any of the conditions unless— (a) they have carried out an analysis for the purpose of determining in accordance with this Chapter whether that person is or remains a person on whom SMP services conditions are capable of being imposed; (b) they have determined in consequence of that analysis that he is not; and (c) they are satisfied that the modification or revocation will not have an adverse effect on any or all of the matters mentioned in subsection (3). (3) Those matters are— (a) the accessibility to any persons of services that are for the time being included in the list of must-carry services in section 64; (b) the prospects for effective competition in the market for programme services provided by being broadcast or otherwise transmitted in digital form; and (c) the prospects for effective competition in the markets for conditional access systems and other associated facilities. (4) In this section “conditional access system” has the same meaning as in section 75.

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.
