Propose a change

Civil Aviation Act 2012

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

What to do with it
As published

12 Advance determinations

(1) The CAA may make a market power determination or an operator determination based entirely or partly on circumstances that have not arisen at the time the determination is made. (2) The CAA must specify the circumstances in the determination. (3) The CAA may make a determination in reliance on subsection (1) only if it considers that the specified circumstances are likely to arise. (4) Sections 8 and 11 do not require the CAA to publish or send a copy of a notice of a determination made in reliance on subsection (1), or reasons for such a determination, at a time when— (a) the circumstances specified in the determination have not arisen, and (b) it considers that doing so would involve disclosing commercially sensitive information. (5) If a notice of a market power determination made in reliance on subsection (1) is published before the circumstances specified in the determination arise— (a) an airport area or airport is not dominant by virtue of the determination until those circumstances arise, and (b) a previous market power determination which would otherwise cease to have effect by virtue of section 7(9) or (10) continues to have effect until those circumstances arise. (6) If a notice of an operator determination made in reliance on subsection (1) is published before the circumstances specified in the determination arise, a person is not to be treated as having or not having overall responsibility for the management of an airport area by virtue of the determination until those circumstances arise.

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.
