(1) This section applies where the Department of Justice is proposing to make regulations under section 25 by virtue of subsection (2)(j) or (l) of that section. (2) In the case of regulations concerning officers of or below the rank of chief superintendent, before making the regulations the Department of Justice shall (subject to subsection (5))— (a) refer the matter to the Police Remuneration Review Body under section 64B(3) of the Police Act 1996, and (b) consider that body's report on the matter. (3) In the case of regulations concerning officers above the rank of chief superintendent, before making the regulations the Department of Justice shall (subject to subsection (5))— (a) consider advice on the matter from the Senior Salaries Review Body, or (b) where subsection (4) applies, refer the matter to the Police Remuneration Review Body under section 64B(3) of the Police Act 1996 and consider that body's report on the matter. (4) This subsection applies where— (a) the regulations would affect officers who are not above the rank of chief superintendent as well as those who are, and (b) the Department of Justice thinks that it would be preferable for the matter to be considered by the same body. (5) The duty to consider advice from the Senior Salaries Review Body or to refer the matter to the Police Remuneration Review Body does not apply if Department of Justice considers that— (a) there is not enough time to do so because the need to make the regulations is so urgent, or (b) it is unnecessary to do so by reason of the nature of the proposed regulations. (6) In all cases, before making the regulations the Department of Justice shall supply a draft of them to, and consider any representations made by— (a) the Board, (b) the Police Association, and (c) the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

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.
