Propose a change

Energy Act 2013

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

15 Modification of standard terms

(1) This section applies where a person wishes to be specified as an eligible generator in a CFD notification (“the potential CFD notification”). (2) A CFD counterparty and the person may, in accordance with provision made by regulations, agree to modify standard terms for the purposes of any offer that would be required under section 14 if the potential CFD notification is given (a “modification agreement”).

(4) Regulations may make further provision about modification agreements, including— (a) the circumstances in which a person may make an application for a modification agreement; (b) the time by which an application must be made; (c) the procedure to be followed, and the information to be given, by the person in making an application; (d) how a CFD counterparty is to determine an application (including how it is to determine whether the effect of a modification is minor and whether it is necessary); (e) the time by which determinations must be made; (f) the form of modification agreements. (5) Provision made by virtue of subsection (4)(d) may include provision under which the CFD counterparty may make alternative proposals for modifications in response to an application. (6) In this section “modify” includes add to, alter or omit, and “ modification ” is to be read accordingly.

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.

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.
