Criminal Justice Act 1967
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
22 Extension of power of High Court to grant, or vary conditions of, bail.
(1) Where (a) a magistrates’ court withholds bail in criminal proceedings or imposes conditions in granting bail in criminal proceedings, and (b) it does so where an application to the court to state a case for the opinion of the High Court is made, the High Court may ... grant bail or vary the conditions. (1A) Where a magistrates' court withholds bail in extradition proceedings or imposes conditions in granting bail in extradition proceedings, the High Court may grant bail or vary the conditions. (2) Where the High Court grants a person bail under this section it may direct him to appear at a time and place which the magistrates’ court could have directed and the recognizance of any surety shall be conditioned accordingly. (3) Subsections ... (4) and (6) of section 37 of the Criminal Justice Act 1948 (ancillary provisions as to persons granted to bail by the High Court under that section and the currency of sentence in the case of persons so admitted) shall apply in relation to the powers conferred by this section and persons granted bail in pursuance of those powers as it applies in relation to the powers conferred by that section and persons granted bail in pursuance of those powers ... (4) In this section ... ...“bail in criminal proceedings”, “extradition proceedings” and “vary” shall have the same meanings as they have in the Bail Act 1976. (5) The powers conferred on the High Court by this section shall be in substitution for the powers so conferred by paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of section 37(1) of the Criminal Justice Act 1948, but except as aforesaid this section shall not prejudice any powers of the High Court to admit or direct the admission of persons to bail.

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.

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.
