Extradition Act 1989 (repealed)
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
16 Discharge in case of delay.
(1) If a person committed under section 9 above is still in the United Kingdom after the expiration of the relevant period, he may apply to the High Court or the High Court of Justiciary for his discharge. (2) Unless he has instituted proceedings for judicial review of the Secretary of State’s decision to order his return, the relevant period is— (a) the period of two months beginning with the first day on which, having regard to section 11(2) above, he could have been returned; (b) where a warrant for his return has been issued under section 12 above, the period of one month beginning with the day on which that warrant was issued. (3) If he has instituted such proceedings, the relevant period is the period expiring one month after they end. (4) Proceedings for judicial review end for the purposes of this section— (a) if they are discontinued, on the day of discontinuance; and (b) if they are determined, on the day on which (disregarding any power of a court to grant leave to appeal out of time) there is no further possibility of an appeal. (5) If upon an application under this section the court is satisfied that reasonable notice of the proposed application has been given to the Secretary of State, the court may, unless sufficient cause is shown to the contrary, by order direct the applicant to be discharged and, if a warrant for his return has been issued under section 12 above, quash that warrant.

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.

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.
