Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

24 Effect of slavery and trafficking risk orders

(1) A slavery and trafficking risk order is an order which prohibits the defendant from doing anything described in the order. (2) The only prohibitions that may be included in the order are those which the court is satisfied are necessary for the purpose of protecting persons generally, or particular persons, from the physical or psychological harm which would be likely to occur if the defendant committed a slavery or human trafficking offence. (3) The order may prohibit the defendant from doing things in any part of the United Kingdom, and anywhere outside the United Kingdom. (4) Subject to section 25(1), a prohibition contained in a slavery and trafficking risk order has effect— (a) for a fixed period, specified in the order, of at least 2 years, or (b) until further order. (5) A slavery and trafficking risk order— (a) may specify that some of its prohibitions have effect until further order and some for a fixed period; (b) may specify different periods for different prohibitions. (6) Where a court makes a slavery and trafficking risk order in relation to a person who is already subject to such an order (whether made by that court or another), the earlier order ceases to have 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.
