Propose a change

Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007

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

51 Procedure for refusing or withdrawing approval

(1) Before refusing or withdrawing its approval of a redress scheme, the regulator must give the scheme administrator a notice— (a) stating that the regulator proposes to refuse or withdraw its approval, (b) giving the reasons for the proposed refusal or withdrawal, and (c) specifying a time (not being earlier than the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given to the scheme administrator) before which representations about the proposed refusal or withdrawal may be made. (2) The regulator must give notice to the scheme administrator of— (a) the regulator's decision on a proposal to refuse or withdraw approval, and (b) the reasons for its decision. (3) In the case of a decision to withdraw approval, the regulator must also give notice of its decision and the reasons for it to the Secretary of State. (4) The scheme administrator must give a copy of the notice under subsection (2) to each member of the scheme. (5) If the regulator decides to withdraw approval, the withdrawal has effect in accordance with, and from the date specified in, the notice under subsection (2). (6) Where a redress scheme designated under section 47(1)(b) is administered by a person appointed by the Secretary of State, this section (other than subsection (3)) applies in relation to a revocation by the Secretary of State of that person's appointment as it applies in relation to a withdrawal by a regulator of the approval of a redress scheme.

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.

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.
