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
29 Countervailing benefits exemption
(1) The CMA must close a conduct investigation under section 28 where representations made by the undertaking to which the investigation relates lead the CMA to consider that the countervailing benefits exemption applies. (2) The countervailing benefits exemption applies where— (a) the conduct to which the investigation relates gives rise to benefits to users or potential users of the digital activity in respect of which the conduct requirement in question applies, (b) those benefits outweigh any actual or likely detrimental impact on competition resulting from a breach of the conduct requirement, (c) those benefits could not be realised without the conduct, (d) the conduct is proportionate to the realisation of those benefits, and (e) the conduct does not eliminate or prevent effective competition. (3) Where the CMA closes a conduct investigation as a result of subsection (1), the undertaking to which the decision relates is to be treated as if the CMA had found that the conduct did not constitute a breach of the conduct requirement.

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.
