Propose a change

The Clean Heat Market Mechanism Regulations 2025

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.

What to do with it
As published

37 Civil penalties: general

(1) Where the administrator considers that a scheme participant or a near-threshold supplier is liable to a civil penalty under regulation 41 (failure to notify fossil fuel boiler sales) or that a scheme participant is liable to a civil penalty under regulation 45 (failure to make a payment), the administrator must impose a civil penalty on the scheme participant or near-threshold supplier, as the case may be. (2) Where the administrator considers that a person is liable to a civil penalty under any other provision of this Part, the administrator may impose a civil penalty on the person. (3) A civil penalty is imposed on a person by giving a notice (referred to in this Part as a “penalty notice”) to the person. (4) A penalty notice must set out— (a) the grounds for liability; (b) the nature of the penalty; (c) the amount of any financial penalty, including how the amount is calculated and the amount of any accruing daily financial penalty; (d) the date by which any financial penalty must be paid, which must not be less than 28 days after the day on which the notice is given; (e) the person to whom payment of a financial penalty must be made; (f) how payment of a financial penalty may be made; (g) information about rights of appeal. (5) The person to whom a penalty notice is given must pay any financial penalty set out in the notice to the person indicated in the notice on or before the due date. (6) A financial penalty, if unpaid, is recoverable by the administrator— (a) as a civil debt; or (b) on the order of a court, as if payable under a court order. (7) The administrator must pay any financial penalty received into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
