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

82B Applications for consent under section 82A

(1) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of considering an application for consent under section 82A, require to be furnished with such plans and particulars of the proposed operation as the Secretary of State may consider necessary. (2) On receipt of any such application, the Secretary of State may cause to be published notice of— (a) the application, and (b) the time within which, and the manner in which, objections to the application may be made. (3) Any such notice is to be published in such a manner as to be likely to come to the attention of those likely to be interested in, or affected by, the application. (4) The Secretary of State may cause an inquiry to be held in connection with the determination of an application for consent.

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.
