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.

64 Protection of victims and witnesses

(1) The enactments specified below (which make provision for the protection of victims and witnesses of certain offences) have effect— (a) as if any reference in those provisions to a specific substantive offence included an offence under section 58 involving conduct constituting that offence; and (b) as if any reference in those provisions to a specific ancillary offence included— (i) that ancillary offence in relation to an offence under section 58 involving conduct constituting the substantive offence in question, and (ii) an offence under section 59 involving conduct constituting that ancillary offence in relation to an act to which that section applies involving conduct constituting the substantive offence in question. (2) The enactments are— the Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 (S.I. 1978/460 (N.I. 15)) and the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 (c. 34) (protection of victims of sexual offences); and Parts 1 to 4 of the Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/2789 (N.I. 8)) (protection of witnesses and complainants). Until the commencement of the amendments to the Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act 1992 (c. 34) made by Schedule 2 to the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999, the reference above to the 1992 Act shall be read as a reference to Part 3 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 1994. (3) In subsection (1) above— (a) “substantive offence” means an offence other than an ancillary offence; and (b) the reference to conduct constituting an offence is to conduct that would constitute that offence if committed in Northern Ireland.

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.
