Propose a change

The Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

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

9 Improvement notices

(1) If an authorised officer has reasonable grounds for believing that a relevant business operator is failing to comply with the requirements of regulation 5(1) the authorised officer may, by a notice served on the relevant business operator (an “improvement notice”)— (a) state the officer’s grounds for believing that the relevant business operator is failing to comply with a marking notice; (b) specify the matters which constitute the relevant business operator’s failure to comply; (c) specify the measures which, in the officer’s opinion, the relevant business operator must take in order to secure compliance; and, (d) require the relevant business operator to take those measures, or measures that are at least equivalent to them, within such period (not being less than 14 days) as may be specified in the notice. (2) Any relevant business operator who fails to comply with an improvement notice may be required to pay a fixed monetary penalty.

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.
