Modern Slavery Act 2015
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
18 Prohibitions on foreign travel
(1) A prohibition on foreign travel contained in a slavery and trafficking prevention order must be for a fixed period of not more than 5 years. (2) A “prohibition on foreign travel” means— (a) a prohibition on travelling to any country outside the United Kingdom named or described in the order, (b) a prohibition on travelling to any country outside the United Kingdom other than a country named or described in the order, or (c) a prohibition on travelling to any country outside the United Kingdom. (3) Subsection (1) does not prevent a prohibition on foreign travel from being extended for a further period (of no more than 5 years each time) under section 20. (4) A slavery and trafficking prevention order that contains a prohibition within subsection (2)(c) must require the defendant to surrender all of the defendant's passports at a police station specified in the order— (a) on or before the date when the prohibition takes effect, or (b) within a period specified in the order. (5) Any passports surrendered must be returned as soon as reasonably practicable after the person ceases to be subject to a slavery and trafficking prevention order containing a prohibition within subsection (2)(c). (6) Subsection (5) does not apply in relation to— (a) a passport issued by or on behalf of the authorities of a country outside the United Kingdom if the passport has been returned to those authorities; (b) a passport issued by or on behalf of an international organisation if the passport has been returned to that organisation.

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.
