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
22 Appeals
(1) A defendant may appeal against the making of a slavery and trafficking prevention order— (a) where the order was made under section 14(1)(a), as if the order were a sentence passed on the defendant for the offence; (b) where the order was made under section 14(1)(b) or (c), as if the defendant had been convicted of the offence and the order were a sentence passed on the defendant for the offence; (c) where the order was made on an application under section 15, to the Crown Court. (2) A defendant may appeal to the Crown Court against the making of an interim slavery and trafficking prevention order. (3) A defendant may appeal against the making of an order under section 20, or the refusal to make such an order— (a) where the application for such an order was made to the Crown Court, to the Court of Appeal; (b) in any other case, to the Crown Court. (4) On an appeal under subsection (1)(c), (2) or (3)(b), the Crown Court may make such orders as may be necessary to give effect to its determination of the appeal, and may also make such incidental or consequential orders as appear to it to be just. (5) Any order made by the Crown Court on an appeal under subsection (1)(c) or (2) is for the purposes of section 20(10) or 21(8) (respectively) to be treated as if it were an order of the court from which the appeal was brought. (6) Subsection (5) does not apply to an order directing that an application be re-heard by a magistrates' court.

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.
