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
46 Appeals against notices
(1) A person issued with a community protection notice may appeal to a magistrates' court against the notice on any of the following grounds.
1 That the conduct specified in the community protection notice—
(a) did not take place,
(b) has not had a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality,
(c) has not been of a persistent or continuing nature,
(d) is not unreasonable, or
(e) is conduct that the person cannot reasonably be expected to control or affect.
2 That any of the requirements in the notice, or any of the periods within which or times by which they are to be complied with, are unreasonable.
3 That there is a material defect or error in, or in connection with, the notice.
4 That the notice was issued to the wrong person.
(2) An appeal must be made within the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which the person is issued with the notice.
(3) While an appeal against a community protection notice is in progress—
(a) a requirement imposed by the notice to stop doing specified things remains in effect, unless the court orders otherwise, but
(b) any other requirement imposed by the notice is of no effect.
For this purpose an appeal is “in progress” until it is finally determined or is withdrawn.
(4) A magistrates' court hearing an appeal against a community protection notice must—
(a) quash the notice,
(b) modify the notice (for example by extending a period specified in it), or
(c) dismiss the appeal.

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.
