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.

60 Orders and regulations

(1) An order or regulations under this Act must be made by statutory instrument. (2) The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (c. 36) is to apply in relation to any power of a regulator to make regulations under section 43 or 46 as if the regulator were a Minister of the Crown. (3) Any order or regulations under this Act may— (a) make provision generally or subject to exceptions or in relation to specified cases or descriptions of case; (b) make different provision for different cases or circumstances or for different purposes; (c) provide for a person to exercise a discretion in dealing with any matter; (d) make incidental, supplementary, consequential, transitory and transitional provision and savings. (4) A provision of this Act which permits regulations or orders to make provision of a specified kind is without prejudice to the generality of subsection (3). (5) In the case of an order or regulations made by the Secretary of State, the provision which may be made by virtue of subsection (3)(d) includes provision modifying any provision made by or under any enactment.

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.
