Rights of Entry (Gas and Electricity Boards) Act 1954

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.

As published

1 Restriction on exercise of rights of entry.

(1) No right of entry to which this Act applies shall be exercisable in respect of any premises except— (a) with consent given by or on behalf of the occupier of the premises, or (b) under the authority of a warrant granted under the next following section: Provided that this subsection shall not apply where entry is required in a case of emergency. (2) This Act applies to all rights of entry conferred by— (a) the Gas Act 1986, regulations made under it or any other enactment relating to gas, (b) Schedule 6 to the Electricity Act 1989, and (c) any local enactment relating to gas or electricity, in so far as those rights are exercisable for the purposes of a gas operator or an electricity operator. (3) No person shall be liable to a penalty, under any enactment relating to obstruction of the exercise of a right of entry to which this Act applies, by reason only of his refusing admission to a person who seeks to exercise the right of entry without a warrant granted under the next following section.

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.
