Propose a change

Telecommunications Act 1984

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.

(1) Before making a final order or confirming a provisional order, the Director shall give notice— (a) stating that he proposes to make or confirm the order and setting out its effect; (b) stating the relevant condition of the licence and the acts or omissions which, in his opinion, constitute or would constitute contraventions of it; and (c) specifying the time (not being less than 28 days from the date of publication of the notice) within which representations or objections to the proposed order or confirmation of the order may be made, and shall consider any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn. (2) The Director shall not make a final order, or confirm a provisional order, . . . except with the consent of the telecommunications operator or after complying with the requirements of subsections (3) and (3A) below. (3) The said requirements are that the Director shall— (a) give to the telecommunications operator such notice as appears to him requisite of his proposal to make or confirm the order . . .; (b) specify the time (not being less than 28 days from the date of the service of the notice) within which representations or objections to the proposal may be made; and (c) consider any representations or objections which are duly made and not withdrawn.

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.
