Propose a change

Police Reform Act 2002

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.

(4) The Code may include whatever other provision the Director General and the Office think appropriate. (5) The Director General and the Office must jointly review the code regularly and revise it as appropriate. (6) The Director General and the Office must each comply with the code. (7) The Director General and the Office must jointly publish a code (or revised code) prepared under this section (stating the time from which it takes effect).

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.
