Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

24B Appeals from High Court of Justiciary and sheriff

(1) The following are to be taken to be a sentence for the purpose of an appeal— (a) a serious crime prevention order made under section 22A; (b) the variation under section 22B or 22C of an order made under section 22A; (c) the discharge of an order made under section 22A. (2) If the Lord Advocate considers that a decision of the High Court of Justiciary or the sheriff under section 22A not to make a serious crime prevention order was inappropriate, the Lord Advocate may appeal against the decision. (3) In addition, an appeal may be made in relation to a decision of the High Court of Justiciary or the sheriff— (a) to make a serious crime prevention order under section 22A; or (b) to vary, or not to vary, such an order under section 22B or 22C; by any person who was given an opportunity to make representations in the proceedings concerned by virtue of section 9(4A).

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.
