The Media Act 2024 (Commencement No. 2 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2024

As published

4 Transitional provision

(1) A condition relating to local news included in a local licence under section 106(1) of the 1990 Act (requirements as to character and coverage of national and local services) is to be treated as having been included in such a licence under section 314(1)(a) of the 2003 Act (local news and information in local sound broadcasting services), as that section is amended by section 44 of the 2024 Act. (2) The requirement in section 314(2)(b) of the 2003 Act, as that section is amended by section 44 of the 2024 Act (to have regard to guidance when requiring a local licence to include a condition), does not apply in relation to any licence to which paragraph (1) applies. (3) In this regulation— (a) “local licence” has the meaning given in section 126 of the 1990 Act; (b) “local news” means news which is of particular interest— (i) to persons living or working within the area or locality for which the service is provided, (ii) to persons living or working within a part of that area or locality, or (iii) to particular communities living or working within that area or locality or part of it. (4) References in this regulation to persons living or working within an area or locality include references to persons undergoing education or training in that area or locality.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
