Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

45 Transfer to another part of the United Kingdom: transfer for temporary purposes

(1) This section applies where it appears to the relevant Minister— (a) that the prisoner should be transferred to another part of the United Kingdom for the purpose of attending criminal proceedings against him there, or (b) that the attendance of the prisoner at a place in another part of the United Kingdom is desirable in the interests of justice, or for the purposes of any public inquiry. (2) The relevant Minister may make an order for the transfer of the prisoner to that part of the United Kingdom. (3) No such order shall be made— (a) for the transfer of the prisoner to Scotland without the agreement of the Scottish Ministers, or (b) for the transfer of the prisoner from Scotland without the agreement of the Secretary of State. (4) An order under this section shall be subject to such conditions (if any) as the relevant Minister thinks fit to impose. Any such conditions may be varied or removed at any time. (5) Where an order is made under this section— (a) the warrant authorising the prisoner’s detention in the part of the United Kingdom from which he is transferred shall continue to have effect, and (b) he shall be returned to that part of the United Kingdom when the purposes for which the order is made are fulfilled. (6) In this section “the relevant Minister” means— (a) in relation to a person detained in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, the Secretary of State, and (b) in relation to a person detained in Scotland, the Scottish Ministers.

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.

Think it through

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.
