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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

29 Appeals

(1) A defendant may appeal to the Crown Court— (a) against the making of a slavery and trafficking risk order; (b) against the making of an interim slavery and trafficking risk order; (c) against the making of an order under section 27, or the refusal to make such an order. (2) 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. (3) An order made by the Crown Court on an appeal against the making of a slavery and trafficking risk order or an interim slavery and trafficking risk order is to be treated for the purposes of section 27(8) or 28(8) (respectively) as if it were an order of the court from which the appeal was brought. (4) Subsection (3) 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.

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.
