Energy Act 2023

What to do with it
As published

110 Information and samples plans: supplementary

(1) Where an information and samples plan has effect in relation to a licence event, the OGA and the responsible person may agree changes to the plan. (2) Once changes are agreed, the plan has effect subject to those changes. (3) Where— (a) two or more persons are the responsible person in relation to a licence event, and (b) those persons include a company that has, since the licence event, been dissolved, the reference to the responsible person in subsection (1) does not include that company. (4) An information and samples plan, in relation to a licence event, may provide as appropriate for— (a) the retention, by the responsible person, of any carbon storage information or carbon storage samples held by or on behalf of that person before the licence event, (b) the transfer of any such information or samples to a new licensee, or (c) appropriate storage of such information or samples. (5) Where an information and samples plan makes provision under subsection (4) for a person, other than the responsible person, to hold information or samples in accordance with the plan— (a) the plan may, with the consent of that other person, impose requirements on that person in connection with the information and samples, and (b) any such requirements are sanctionable in accordance with this Chapter. (6) An information and samples plan prepared by the OGA under section 109 may not include provision under subsection (4)(b) for the transfer of information or samples to another person without the consent of the responsible person. (7) An information and samples plan may provide for the storage of information or samples as mentioned in subsection (4)(c) to be the responsibility of the OGA. (8) Where a transfer of rights under a carbon storage licence relates to only part of the area in relation to which the licence was granted, the information and samples plan prepared in connection with the transfer is to relate to all carbon storage information and carbon storage samples held by the responsible person before the licence event, and not only information and samples in respect of that part of the area. (9) In this section, “licence event” and “responsible person” have the same meaning as in section 109.

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.

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.
