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.

5C Conditions for imposing electronic monitoring requirements

(1) This section applies for the purpose of determining whether a court may impose an electronic monitoring requirement on a person (“P”) under section 5B. (2) The requirement may not be imposed in P’s absence. (3) If there is a person (other than P) without whose co-operation it would be impracticable to secure the monitoring in question, the requirement may not be imposed without that person’s consent. (4) A court may impose the requirement in relation to a relevant police area or areas only if— (a) it has been notified by the Secretary of State that electronic monitoring arrangements are available in the area or areas, and (b) it is satisfied that the necessary provision can be made under the arrangements currently available. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4)— “relevant police area” means— the police area in England or Wales in which it appears to the court that P resides or will reside, and in a case where it is proposed to include in the order— a requirement that P must remain, for specified periods, at a specified place, or a provision prohibiting P from entering a specified place or area, the police area in England or Wales in which the place or area proposed to be specified is situated; “specified” means specified in the order.

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.
