(2) A direction under this section may provide that a licence that has effect by virtue of the direction includes such terms and conditions as are specified, or of a description specified, in the direction (regardless of whether or the extent to which those terms and conditions were included in the pre-commencement transmission licence).
(3) A direction under this section may provide for the continued effect (in accordance with the direction) of rights, liabilities and obligations that have effect immediately before the relevant date in connection with—
(a) a pre-commencement transmission licence,
(b) a document maintained in accordance with the conditions of such a licence, or
(c) an agreement that gives effect to such a document.
(4) In subsection (3), “the relevant date” means the date on which the direction takes effect.
(5) A direction under this section may make—
(a) incidental, consequential, supplementary and transitional provision;
(b) such amendments relating to the revocation of a pre-commencement transmission licence as the Secretary of State considers appropriate;
(c) different provision for different purposes.
(6) Before giving a direction under this section, the Secretary of State must consult—
(a) the GEMA, and
(b) such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
(7) Subsection (6) may be satisfied by consultation before the passing of this Act (as well as by consultation after that time).
(8) In this Part—
“electricity system operator licence” means a licence under section 6(1)(da) of the Electricity Act 1989 (as inserted by section 166);
“pre-commencement transmission licence” means a licence under section 6(1)(b) of the Electricity Act 1989 that is in force immediately before this section comes into force.

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.
