Propose a change

Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015

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

6 Issue of permit to return: application by individual

(1) If an individual applies to the Secretary of State for a permit to return, the Secretary of State must issue a permit within a reasonable period after the application is made. (2) But the Secretary of State may refuse to issue the permit if— (a) the Secretary of State requires the individual to attend an interview with a constable or immigration officer at a time and a place specified by the Secretary of State, and (b) the individual fails to attend the interview. (3) Where a permit to return is issued under this section, the relevant return time must fall within a reasonable period after the application is made. (4) An application is not valid unless it is made in accordance with the procedure for applications specified by the Secretary of State. (5) In this section— “application” means an application made by an individual to the Secretary of State for a permit to return to be issued; “relevant return time” means— the time at which the individual is permitted to arrive on return to the United Kingdom (in a case where the permit to return states such a time), or the start of the period of time during which the individual is permitted to arrive on return to the United Kingdom (in a case where the permit to return states such a period).

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.
