Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024
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
135 Power to make a reference after previously deciding not to do so
(1) Section 131B of EA 2002 (market studies and the making of decisions to refer: time limits) is amended as follows. (2) In the heading, after “time-limits” insert “etc”. (3) In subsection (7), for “This section is” substitute “Subsections (4) to (6) are”. (4) After subsection (7) insert— (8) Where the CMA— (a) has published a market study notice, and (b) has decided not to make a reference under section 131 in relation to the matter specified in the notice, the CMA may subsequently make a reference under section 131 in relation to the matter (without first publishing a market study notice in relation to the matter) only where subsection (9) applies. (9) This subsection applies where— (a) the reference under section 131 is made two years or more after the publication of the market study report in relation to the market study notice, or (b) there has been a material change in circumstances since the preparation of the report.

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.
