Propose a change

Energy Act 2008

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

48 Modification of approved programme

(1) Where the Secretary of State has approved a funded decommissioning programme in respect of a site, a person mentioned in subsection (2) may— (a) propose a modification of the programme, or (b) propose a modification of the conditions to which the approval of the programme is subject. (2) Those persons are— (a) the Secretary of State, (b) the site operator, and (c) any other person who has obligations under the programme (provided that the site operator consents to the proposed modification). (3) A proposal under subsection (1) may, in particular, propose— (a) that obligations, or additional obligations, be imposed on a body corporate associated with the site operator, or (b) the removal of obligations imposed on a body corporate which is or was so associated. (4) In subsection (1)(b) “modification of the conditions” includes the imposition of conditions where the programme was approved unconditionally.

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.
