Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996
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
21 Common law rules as to disclosure.
(1) Where this Part applies as regards things falling to be done after the relevant time in relation to an alleged offence, the rules of common law which— (a) were effective immediately before the appointed day, and (b) relate to the disclosure of material by the prosecutor, do not apply as regards things falling to be done after that time in relation to the alleged offence. (2) Subsection (1) does not affect the rules of common law as to whether disclosure is in the public interest. (3) References in subsection (1) to the relevant time are to the time when— (a) the accused pleads not guilty (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(1)), (b) the accused is committed for trial (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(2)(a)) the accused is sent for trial (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(2)(cc)), (c) the proceedings are transferred (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(2)(b) or (c)), (d) the count is included in the indictment (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(2)(d)), or (e) the bill of indictment is preferred (where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(2)(e)). (4) The reference in subsection (1) to the appointed day is to the day appointed under section 1(5).

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.
