Offensive Weapons Act 2019
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
16 Application without notice
(1) An application for a knife crime prevention order under section 14 may be made without the applicant giving notice to the defendant. (2) Section 15(4) to (6) (consultation requirements) does not apply to an application made without notice. (3) If an application is made without notice the court must— (a) adjourn the proceedings and make an interim knife crime prevention order under section 17, (b) adjourn the proceedings without making an interim knife crime prevention order under that section, or (c) dismiss the application. (4) If the court acts under subsection (3)(a) or (b), the applicant must comply with section 15(4) to (6) before the date of the first full hearing. (5) In this section “full hearing” means a hearing of which notice has been given to the applicant and the defendant in accordance with rules of court.

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.
