Crime (Sentences) Act 1997
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
32B Re-entry into United Kingdom of offender removed from prison
(1) This section applies if P, having been removed from prison under section 32A, is removed from the United Kingdom. (2) If P enters the United Kingdom— (a) P is liable to be detained in pursuance of the sentence from the time of P's entry into the United Kingdom; (b) if no direction was given by the Parole Board under subsection (5) of section 28 before P's removal from prison, that section applies to P; (c) if such a direction was given before that removal, P is to be treated as if P had been recalled to prison under section 32. (3) A person who is liable to be detained by virtue of subsection (2)(a) is, if at large, to be taken for the purposes of section 49 of the Prison Act 1952 (persons unlawfully at large) to be unlawfully at large. (4) Subsection (2)(a) does not prevent P's further removal from the United Kingdom.

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.
