Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998
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
16 Power to suspend and revive.
(1) The Secretary of State may make orders suspending, or later reviving, the operation of section 3. (2) A suspension order under subsection (1) shall, subject to any later revival order, prevent— (a) the granting of a declaration on an application already made under section 3, and (b) the release of a person under section 4 or 6 pursuant to a declaration already granted. (3) The Secretary of State may make orders suspending, or later reviving, the operation of section 10. (4) A suspension order under subsection (1) or (3) shall have no effect in relation to a sentence in respect of which a licence under this Act is current or suspended when the order comes into force; but the order shall have effect in relation to the sentence if the licence is revoked after the order comes into force.

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.
