Energy Act 2023

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.

As published

144 Application of scheme

(1) Scheme regulations that provide for the establishment of a low-carbon heat scheme must identify— (a) the descriptions of person to whom the scheme applies; (b) the kinds of relevant heating appliance to which the scheme applies. (2) A person within a description identified by virtue of subsection (1)(a) is referred to in this Chapter as a “scheme participant”. (3) Scheme regulations may— (a) set low-carbon heat targets, or (b) provide for low-carbon heat targets to be set in accordance with provision made by the regulations. Section 145 contains further provision about the setting of targets. (4) Scheme regulations must make provision about the period or periods in relation to which low-carbon heat targets have effect. (5) The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (4) includes— (a) provision authorising things done by a scheme participant before the first period in relation to which a low-carbon heat target has effect to be treated as done by the scheme participant during that period; (b) provision authorising things done by a scheme participant during one period in relation to which a low-carbon-heat target has effect to be treated instead as done by the scheme participant during a different period in relation to which such a target has effect.

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.
