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.

32ZB Release at direction of Parole Board: timing
(1) This section applies where the Parole Board directs the release of a life prisoner under section 28 or 32 (including where the High Court makes an order under section 32ZAC(1)(a) or (2B)(a) requiring the Secretary of State to give effect to such a direction). (2) The Secretary of State must give effect to the direction of the Parole Board as soon as is reasonably practicable in all the circumstances including, in particular, the need where the life prisoner is to be released on licence to make arrangements in connection with any conditions that are to be included in the life prisoner’s licence under this Chapter. (3) The duty under subsection (2) is subject to — (a) section 32ZAA(3) (suspension of duty to release prisoner pending referral to High Court or decision whether to refer), and (b) provision made pursuant to section 239(5C)(b) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (provision in Parole Board rules in relation to setting aside of release directions).

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.
