Media Act 2024
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.
Change 1
35 Amendment of BBC’s obligation to provide Welsh programmes
(1) Section 58 of the Broadcasting Act 1990 (sources of programmes for S4C) is amended as follows. (2) For subsections (1) and (1A) substitute— (1) The BBC must provide to S4C (free of charge) sufficient television programmes in Welsh to occupy not less than ten hours’ transmission time per week, in a way that meets the reasonable requirements of S4C. (1A) The duty in subsection (1) does not apply during any period for which the BBC and S4C agree in writing to put in place alternative arrangements that contribute to S4C fulfilling its public service remit. (1B) If the BBC and S4C make an agreement under subsection (1A) the BBC must, as soon as reasonably practicable, publish the terms of the agreement. (1C) The BBC must exclude from publication any information which it or S4C considers— (a) constitutes a trade secret, or (b) would be likely, if published, to prejudice the commercial interests of any person, unless the BBC and S4C consider that there is an overriding public interest in publishing the information. (3) Omit subsections (2) to (4) (which relate to S4C’s switched-off analogue service). (4) In subsection (5)— (a) for “The Welsh Authority” substitute “S4C”; (b) for “on S4C” substitute “on S4C Digital”.

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.
