Propose a change

Financial Services and Markets Act 2000

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

391B Publication: special provisions relating to transparency obligations

(1) This section applies where a decision notice, final notice or notice under section 89M relates to the imposition of a sanction or measure for breach of a provision made in or under this Act for the purpose of implementing the transparency obligations directive. (2) Where the FCA publishes information under section 391(4) or subsection (3) about a matter to which a decision notice or a notice under section 89M relates and the person to whom the notice is given refers the matter to the Tribunal— (a) the FCA must include information to that effect in the publication at the time of the publication, or, (b) if the matter is referred to the Tribunal after the publication, the FCA must update the publication or publish that information separately. (3) Subject to subsection (4), where the FCA gives a final notice or a notice under section 89M, it must publish information on the type and nature of the breach and the identity of the person on whom the sanction or measure is imposed. (4) Information about a matter to which a final notice or a notice under section 89M relates may be published anonymously where— (a) the sanction is imposed on an individual and, following an obligatory prior assessment, publication of personal data is found to be disproportionate; (b) failing to publish anonymously would seriously jeopardise the stability of the financial system or an ongoing official investigation; or (c) failing to publish anonymously would cause, insofar as it can be determined, disproportionate and serious damage to the persons involved. (5) Where subsection (4) applies, the FCA may make such arrangements as to the publication of information (including as to the timing of publication) as are necessary to preserve the anonymity of the person on whom the sanction or measure is imposed. (6) In this section, the “transparency obligations directive” has the same meaning as in section 103(1).

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.
