Propose a change

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

What to do with it
As published

(2) The individual authorisation ceases to have effect at the end of the relevant period unless— (a) it is renewed before the end of that period, or (b) it is cancelled or otherwise ceases to have effect before the end of that period. (3) In this section the “relevant period” means the period of three months beginning with the day after the day at the end of which the category authorisation ceased to have effect.

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.
