Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014
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
As published
1 Power to grant youth injunctions
(1) A court may grant an injunction under this section (a “youth injunction”) against a person aged 10 or over but under 18 (“the respondent”) if two conditions are met.
(2) The first condition is that the court is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the respondent has engaged or threatens to engage in anti-social behaviour.
(3) The second condition is that the court considers it just and convenient to grant the injunction for the purpose of preventing the respondent from engaging in anti-social behaviour.
(4) A youth injunction may for the purpose of preventing the respondent from engaging in anti-social behaviour—
(a) prohibit the respondent from doing anything described in the injunction;
(b) require the respondent to do anything described in the injunction.
(4A) But a youth injunction may not have the effect of excluding the respondent from the place where the respondent normally lives.
(5) Prohibitions and requirements in a youth injunction must, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid—
(a) any interference with the times, if any, at which the respondent normally attends school or any other educational establishment, or at which the respondent normally works;
(b) any conflict with the requirements of any other court order or injunction to which the respondent is subject.
(6) A youth injunction must specify the period for which it has effect, which must be no more than 12 months.
(7) A youth injunction may specify periods for which particular prohibitions or requirements have effect.
(8) An application for a youth injunction must be made to a youth court.
(9) In this Part, anti-social behaviour means—
(a) conduct that has caused, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to any person, or
(b) housing-related anti-social conduct (see section 2).

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.
