Justice (Northern Ireland) Act 2002
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.

(1) If a person who is the victim of an offence for the purposes of a scheme under section 68 makes to the Department of Justice representations falling within subsection (2) the Department of Justice has the obligations specified in subsection (3). (2) Representations fall within this subsection if they are to the effect that the temporary release of a person serving a sentence of imprisonment in Northern Ireland imposed in respect of the commission of the offence would threaten the safety, or otherwise adversely affect the well-being, of— (a) the actual victim of the offence, or (b) a person who is regarded for the purposes of the scheme as a victim of the offence by virtue of section 68(5). (3) The Department of Justice must— (a) have regard to the representations in deciding whether the person should be temporarily released and, if so, any conditions to which he is to be subject, and (b) inform the victim of any such decision.

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.
