Propose a change

Energy Act 2011

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

What to do with it
As published

6 Consents and redress etc

(1) The framework regulations may make provision for dealing with cases where— (a) at the time when a plan is entered into the improver and the bill payer are different persons; (b) the bill payer at the time when a plan is entered into is a different person from the bill payer at any subsequent time (a “subsequent bill payer”). (2) Provision which may be made by virtue of subsection (1) includes— (a) provision requiring the term included in the plan by virtue of section 5(2)(a)(i) to be one to which the bill payer mentioned in subsection (1)(a) has consented, and (b) provision as to the terms of the plan which are to bind or benefit that bill payer or a subsequent bill payer. (3) Subsection (1) is subject to section 1(6). (4) The framework regulations may make provision for the purpose of providing redress in cases where a permission or consent mentioned in section 5(2)(b) was not obtained or was improperly obtained. (5) Provision included in framework regulations by virtue of subsection (4) may, in particular, enable the Secretary of State to— (a) require a green deal provider to suspend or cancel the liability of a bill payer to make payments under a green deal plan; (b) require a green deal provider to refund any such payments that have already been made; (c) require an improver to pay compensation to the green deal provider in respect of the suspension, cancellation or refund.

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.
