Serious Crime Act 2007
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
16 Duration of orders
(1) A serious crime prevention order must specify when it is to come into force and when it is to cease to be in force. (2) An order is not to be in force for more than 5 years beginning with the coming into force of the order. (3) An order can specify different times for the coming into force, or ceasing to be in force, of different provisions of the order. (4) Where it specifies different times in accordance with subsection (3), the order— (a) must specify when each provision is to come into force and cease to be in force; and (b) is not to be in force for more than 5 years beginning with the coming into force of the first provision of the order to come into force. (5) The fact that an order, or any provision of an order, ceases to be in force does not prevent the court from making a new order to the same or similar effect. (6) A new order may be made in anticipation of an earlier order or provision ceasing to be in force. (7) Subsections (2) and (4)(b) have effect subject to section 22E.

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.
