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.

What to do with it
As published

226HC Non-renewal or cancellation of third party BPD warrant

(1) This section applies where a third party BPD warrant ceases to have effect because it expires without having been renewed or because it is cancelled. (2) The head of the intelligence service to whom the warrant was addressed must, so far as is reasonably practicable, secure that anything in the process of being done in reliance on the warrant stops as soon as possible. (3) Nothing in this section affects the lawfulness of— (a) anything done in reliance on the warrant before it ceases to have effect; (b) if anything is in the process of being done in reliance on the warrant when it ceases to have effect— (i) anything done before that thing could be stopped, or (ii) anything done that it is not reasonably practicable to stop.

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.
