Criminal Justice Act 1961
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
31 Subsequent sentence in case of persons transferred or removed under Part III.
(1) The power of a court in any part of the United Kingdom to order that the term of any sentence of imprisonment or detention passed by the court shall commence at or before the expiration of another term of imprisonment or detention shall include power to make such an order where that other term was imposed by sentence of a court elsewhere in the United Kingdom or in any of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man if the offender— (a) is serving that other sentence in that part of the United Kingdom; or (b) is for the time being present in that part of the United Kingdom, by virtue of an order under this Part of this Act, or is unlawfully at large under the law of the country in which that other sentence was passed. (2) The provisions of this section shall be without prejudice to the powers exercisable by any court apart from those provisions.

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.
