International Criminal Court Act 2001
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
3 Request for provisional arrest
(1) This section applies where the Secretary of State receives from the ICC a request for the provisional arrest of a person alleged to have committed an ICC crime or to have been convicted by the ICC. (2) If it appears to the Secretary of State that application for a warrant should be made in England and Wales— (a) he shall transmit the request to a constable and direct the constable to apply for a warrant for the arrest of that person, and (b) on an application by a constable stating on oath that he has reason to believe— (i) that a request has been made on grounds of urgency by the ICC for the arrest of a person, and (ii) that the person is in, or on his way to, the United Kingdom, an appropriate judicial officer shall issue a warrant for the arrest of that person. (3) If it appears to the Secretary of State that application for a warrant should be made in Scotland— (a) he shall transmit the request to the Scottish Ministers who shall instruct the procurator fiscal to apply for a warrant for the arrest of that person, and (b) on the application by the procurator fiscal, which shall state— (i) that a request has been made on grounds of urgency by the ICC for the arrest of a person, and (ii) that the person is in, or on his way to, Scotland, an appropriate judicial officer shall issue a warrant for the arrest of that person. (4) Where an appropriate judicial officer issues a warrant under this section, he shall notify the Secretary of State and, where the proceedings are in Scotland, the Scottish Ministers that he has done so. (5) In this Part a warrant issued under this section is referred to as a “provisional warrant”.

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.
