Propose a change

Enterprise Act 2002

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

34ZD Fast-track reference requests

(1) Subsection (2) applies where the following conditions are met— (a) arrangements or proposed arrangements might have resulted or might result in the creation of a relevant merger situation (the “arrangements concerned”), (b) no reference has been made under section 22 or 33 in respect of the arrangements concerned, and (c) the CMA has not informed the persons carrying on the enterprises concerned of a decision that the duty to make a reference under section 22(1) or 33(1) does not apply in respect of those arrangements. (2) The persons carrying on the enterprises concerned may make a fast-track reference request to the CMA at any time before the end of the initial period (whether or not that period has begun). (3) In this section and in sections 34ZE and 34ZF, “fast-track reference request” means a request that the CMA makes a reference under section 22(1A) or 33(1A) in relation to the arrangements concerned.

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.
