Propose a change

Petroleum Act 1998

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

38B Directions to provide information about protected assets

(1) The Secretary of State may direct a security provider to publish specified information about the protected assets. (2) A direction under this section may specify— (a) the time when the information must be published, and (b) the manner of publication.

(4) If, on an application under this section, the court decides that the security provider has failed to comply with the direction, it may order the security provider to take such steps as the court directs for securing that the direction is complied with. (5) In this section— “court”— in relation to an application in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, means the High Court, and in relation to an application in Scotland, means the Court of Session; “security provider” means a person who has provided security in relation to which section 38A applies; “the protected assets”, in relation to a security provider, means the security, and any property or rights in which it consists.

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.
