70 Assessment by the scheme administrator: relevant authority disposal costs
(1) The scheme administrator must, for each relevant authority, make the assessments required by this regulation— (a) as soon as reasonably practicable after this regulation comes into force, for the 2025 assessment year; and (b) by 1st November in 2025 and each subsequent year, for the assessment year beginning on the following 1st April. (2) The scheme administrator must assess for each relevant authority— (a) the efficient disposal costs of the relevant authority in providing a waste management service for household packaging waste in the assessment year— (i) in total; and (ii) for each packaging category of household packaging waste that the relevant authority is likely to manage in that assessment year; and (b) the weight, in tonnes, of household packaging waste in each packaging category that the relevant authority is likely to manage in that assessment year. (3) In assessing the efficient disposal costs referred to in paragraph (2)(a), the scheme administrator must, for the 2027 assessment year and any subsequent assessment year, take into account the factors referred to in regulation 73(1)(c). (4) The scheme administrator must assess— (a) the total weight, in tonnes, of household packaging waste likely to be managed by all relevant authorities in the assessment year; and (b) the sum of the efficient disposal costs of all relevant authorities in the assessment year in providing a waste management service for household packaging waste. (5) The scheme administrator must assess, for each packaging category of household packaging waste— (a) the total weight, in tonnes, of household packaging waste in that packaging category which is likely to be managed by all relevant authorities in the assessment year; (b) the weight of household packaging waste assessed under sub-paragraph (a) which is likely to be sent for recycling in the United Kingdom or exported for recycling in the assessment year; (c) the weight of household packaging waste assessed under sub-paragraph (a) which is likely to be subject to recovery operations other than recycling or to disposal operations in the United Kingdom in the assessment year; and (d) the sum of the efficient disposal costs of all relevant authorities in the assessment year in providing a waste management service for household packaging waste in that packaging category. (6) In this regulation, the “efficient disposal costs” of a relevant authority are the disposal costs the relevant authority would incur if it provided an efficient waste management service. (7) For the purpose of paragraph (6), a relevant authority provides an efficient waste management service if the disposal costs of the authority are as low as reasonably possible while facilitating achievement of the environmental effects set out in the policy statement published under regulation 127, taking into account— (a) the waste management service provided by the authority; and (b) any other factors specific to that authority, or to the area in relation to which it exercises its waste management functions, which in the opinion of the scheme administrator are likely to affect its disposal costs.

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.
