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.

36 Proceedings in the Crown Court
(1) Proceedings before the Crown Court arising by virtue of section 19, 20 , 21 or 22E are civil proceedings. (2) One consequence of this is that the standard of proof to be applied by the court in such proceedings is the civil standard of proof. (3) Two other consequences of this are that the court— (a) is not restricted to considering evidence that would have been admissible in the criminal proceedings in which the person concerned was convicted; and (b) may adjourn any proceedings in relation to a serious crime prevention order even after sentencing the person concerned. (4) The Crown Court, when exercising its jurisdiction in England and Wales under this Part, is a criminal court for the purposes of Part 7 of the Courts Act 2003 (c. 39) (procedure rules and practice directions). (5) A serious crime prevention order may be made as mentioned in section 19(7)(b) in spite of anything in sections 79, 80 and 82 of the Sentencing Code or (as the case may be) Articles 4 and 6 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 (S.I. 1996/3160 (N.I.24)) (which relate to orders discharging a person absolutely or conditionally and their effect). (6) A variation of a serious crime prevention order may be made as mentioned in section 20(6)(b) or 21(6)(b) in spite of anything in sections 12 and 14 of the Act of 2000 or (as the case may be) Articles 4 and 6 of the Order of 1996.

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.
