Propose a change

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.

313 Procedure and appeals

(1) Sections 112 (penalties: main procedural requirements), 113 (payments and interest by instalments), section 114 (appeals) and 115 (recovery of penalties) of EA 2002 apply in relation to a penalty imposed under section 312 as they apply in relation to a penalty imposed under section 110(1) of that Act. (2) For the purposes of this section— (a) sections 112 to 115 of EA 2002 are to be read as if references to “the appropriate authority” were references to the CMA only; (b) section 114(5A) of EA 2002 is to be read as if the words “In the case of a penalty imposed on a by the CMA or OFCOM,” were omitted; (c) section 114(12) of EA 2002 is to be read as if, for paragraph (b), there were substituted— (b) “the relevant guidance” means the statement of policy which was most recently published under section 314 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 at the time of the act or omission giving rise to the penalty.

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.
