The Care and Support (Disputes Between Local Authorities) Regulations 2014

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.

1 Citation, commencement and interpretation

(1) These Regulations may be cited as the Care and Support (Disputes Between Local Authorities) Regulations 2014 and come into force immediately after section 40(1) of the Care Act 2014 comes fully into force. (2) In these Regulations— “the Act” means the Care Act 2014; “the appropriate person” means the person by whom a dispute is to be determined pursuant to section 40(1) of the Act; “dispute” means a dispute— about where an adult is ordinarily resident for the purposes of Part 1 of the Act; between local authorities under section 37 of the Act (continuity of care) about the application of that section; or between local authorities about the application of section 48 of the Act (provider failure: temporary duty on local authority); “the lead authority” means, in relation to a dispute, the local authority which— is meeting the needs of the adult or carer to whom the dispute relates at the date on which the dispute arises; or if no local authority is meeting those needs at that date, is required to do so by regulation 2(3); “referred” means referred for determination by the appropriate person, and “refer” and “referral” are to be construed accordingly. (3) References in these Regulations to the date on which a dispute arises are references to the first date on which a written communication is sent by one of the local authorities (“the first authority”) to another of the local authorities (“the second authority”) which (as the case may be)— (a) asserts that, in the first authority’s view, the adult to whom the dispute relates is not ordinarily resident in its area for the purposes of Part 1 of the Act, or that that adult is ordinarily resident in the second authority’s area for those purposes; (b) raises an issue about the application of section 37 of the Act; or (c) raises an issue about the application of section 48 of the Act. (4) In these Regulations, a reference to “the authorities” is a reference to the local authorities who are parties to a dispute and includes (where different) a reference to the lead authority in relation to that dispute.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.

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.
