Investigatory Powers Act 2016
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
180 Approval of warrants issued in urgent cases
(1) This section applies where— (a) a warrant under section 178 is issued without the approval of a Judicial Commissioner, and (b) the Secretary of State considered that there was an urgent need to issue it. (2) The Secretary of State must inform a Judicial Commissioner that it has been issued. (3) The Judicial Commissioner must, before the end of the relevant period— (a) decide whether to approve the decision to issue the warrant, and (b) notify the Secretary of State of the Judicial Commissioner's decision. “The relevant period” means the period ending with the third working day after the day on which the warrant was issued. (4) If a Judicial Commissioner refuses to approve the decision to issue a warrant, the warrant— (a) ceases to have effect (unless already cancelled), and (b) may not be renewed, and section 179(4) does not apply in relation to the refusal to approve the decision. (5) Section 181 contains further provision about what happens if a Judicial Commissioner refuses to approve a decision to issue a 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.
