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

232E Extended prohibitions orders

(1) On an application made by a Provost Marshal, the Court Martial must make an order under this section in respect of a person within subsection (2) if the relevant requirements are met. (2) The following are persons within this subsection— (a) a member of the regular forces; (b) a member of the reserve forces (whether or not for the time being subject to service law); (c) a civilian subject to service discipline. (3) The relevant requirements are met if the Court Martial is satisfied— (a) that the person is subject to an order under section 104 or 105 of SOA 2003 (“the principal order”); and (b) that there are members of the service community outside the United Kingdom who would, if in the United Kingdom, be protected by the principal order. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) a person (“P”) is “protected” by the principal order if one or more of the prohibitions included in the order are for the purposes of the protection of P, or of persons of a description within which P falls. (5) An order under this section— (a) prohibits the person subject to the order from doing anything described in the order; and (b) has effect— (i) until the expiry of the principal order; or (ii) if earlier, until the principal order is varied, renewed or discharged under section 108 of SOA 2003. (6) Only corresponding prohibitions may be included in an order under this section. (7) For the purposes of subsection (6) a “corresponding prohibition” is a prohibition in substantially the same terms as a prohibition in the principal order (“the principal prohibition”), subject to such modifications as are necessary to secure that the prohibition is for the purposes of the protection of members of the service community outside the United Kingdom who would, if in the United Kingdom, be protected by the principal prohibition. (8) In subsection (7) “protected” is to be construed in accordance with subsection (4).

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.
