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.

As published

52 Jurisdiction

(1) If a person (D) knows or believes that what he anticipates might take place wholly or partly in England or Wales, he may be guilty of an offence under section 44, 45 or 46 no matter where he was at any relevant time. (2) If it is not proved that D knows or believes that what he anticipates might take place wholly or partly in England or Wales, he is not guilty of an offence under section 44, 45 or 46 unless paragraph 1, 2 or 3 of Schedule 4 applies. (3) A reference in this section (and in any of those paragraphs) to what D anticipates is to be read as follows— (a) in relation to an offence under section 44 or 45, it refers to the act which would amount to the commission of the anticipated offence; (b) in relation to an offence under section 46, it refers to an act which would amount to the commission of any of the offences specified in the indictment. (4) In their application to Northern Ireland, this section and Schedule 4 have effect as if references to— (a) England or Wales; and (b) England and Wales; were references to Northern Ireland. (5) Nothing in this section or Schedule 4 restricts the operation of any enactment by virtue of which an act constituting an offence under this Part is triable under the law of England and Wales or Northern Ireland.

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.
