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.

What to do with it
As published

82D Authorised exploration or exploitation operations: consent conditions

(1) This section applies where the Secretary of State has given consent for an authorised exploration or exploitation operation, but subject to a condition (a “consent condition”). (2) A consent condition shall either— (a) remain in force for a specified period, or (b) remain in force without limit of time, but this is subject to subsection (5). (3) A consent condition, in addition to binding the person to whom the consent is given, also binds, so far as is appropriate, any other person who for the time being owns, occupies, or enjoys any use of, the works in question. (4) Where— (a) a consent condition relates to the taking of navigational precautions, and (b) the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to vary the condition in the interests of the safety of navigation (whether or not the operation has been completed), the Secretary of State may vary the condition for the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness of the aids to navigation which are to be provided or the other measures which are to be taken. (5) The Secretary of State may revoke any consent condition. (6) In this section “ taking of navigational precautions ” means any of the following— (a) the provision of any lights, signals or other aids to navigation; (b) the stationing of guard ships in the vicinity of the works in question; (c) the taking of any other measures for the purpose of, or in connection with, controlling the movements of ships in the vicinity of those works.

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.
