Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
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
130 Search and arrest without warrant.
In the 1971 Act, after section 28B, insert— Search and arrest without warrant. 28C (1) An immigration officer may enter and search any premises for the purpose of arresting a person for an offence under section 25(1). (2) The power may be exercised— (a) only to the extent that it is reasonably required for that purpose; and (b) only if the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the person whom he is seeking is on the premises. (3) In relation to premises consisting of two or more separate dwellings, the power is limited to entering and searching— (a) any parts of the premises which the occupiers of any dwelling comprised in the premises use in common with the occupiers of any such other dwelling; and (b) any such dwelling in which the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the person whom he is seeking may be. (4) The power may be exercised only if the officer produces identification showing that he is an immigration officer (whether or not he is asked to do so).

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.
