Propose a change

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

What to do with it
As published

4 Initial duty to disclose: further provisions.

(1) This section applies where— (a) the prosecutor acts under section 3, and (b) before so doing he was given a document in pursuance of provision included, by virtue of section 24(3), in a code operative under Part II. (2) In such a case the prosecutor must give the document to the accused at the same time as the prosecutor acts under section 3.

Your change, as a redline

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.
