Police Act 1996
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
53A Regulation of procedures and practices
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring one or more police forces— (a) to adopt particular procedures or practices; or (b) to adopt procedures or practices of a particular description. (1A) If the College of Policing, having consulted the National Crime Agency, submits to the Secretary of State a draft of regulations under this section, the Secretary of State shall make regulations in terms of the draft unless the Secretary of State considers that— (a) doing so would impair the efficiency or effectiveness of the police, or (b) it would be unlawful to do so, or (c) it would for some other reason be wrong to do so. (1B) The Secretary of State may not make regulations under this section unless the text of the regulations has been prepared or approved by the College of Policing.

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.
