The Clergy Conduct Rules 2026
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
95 Re-calling witnesses to give evidence before the appeal court
(1) No witness who gave evidence on a complaint of misconduct may be called to give oral evidence at an appeal or review arising from the complaint without permission from the appellate court. (2) The respondent to a complaint of misconduct who is appealing against a finding of fact and proposes that a witness who gave evidence to the tribunal or court hearing the complaint should give oral evidence at the appeal must give the Investigation and Tribunals Team and the appellate court notice in writing of the intention to seek permission; and the notice must be given at least 14 days before the day set for the directions hearing. (3) A notice under paragraph (2) must— (a) specify the name of the witness in question, and (b) give the reasons why it is considered necessary for the witness to give evidence to the appellate court. (4) The appellate court may give permission under this rule only if it is satisfied that the evidence is necessary for the just disposal of the appeal or review.

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.
