Propose a change

Armed Forces Act 2006

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.

What to do with it
As published

171 Remission for trial

(1) Where— (a) a person is detained in pursuance of a hospital order which the Court Martial had power to make by virtue of section 169(1)(a), (b) the court also made a restriction order, and (c) the restriction order has not ceased to have effect, the Secretary of State, if satisfied after consultation with the responsible clinician that the person can properly be tried, may remit the person for trial by the Court Martial. (2) A person remitted under this section must be transferred to service custody, but when he is so transferred— (a) he must as soon as practicable be brought before a judge advocate for a review of whether he should continue to be kept in service custody; and (b) on that review he is to be dealt with as on a review under section 108(1) (see section 108(4) to (8)). (3) On the transfer of a person to service custody under this section the hospital order and restriction order cease to have effect. (4) In this section— “hospital order” and “restriction order” have the same meanings as in section 169; “the responsible clinician” means the responsible clinician within the meaning of Part 3 of the Mental Health Act 1983. (5) In subsection (1)(a) the reference to a hospital order as there mentioned includes a reference to— (a) a hospital order made by virtue of section 16(1)(b) or 22(3A) of the Court Martial Appeals Act 1968 (c. 20); (b) a hospital order made by virtue of section 25B(1) of that Act in a case in which a finding within section 169(1)(a) of this Act was made by the Court Martial.

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.
