The Food Crime Officers (Complaints and Misconduct) Regulations 2025
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.

38 Timeliness of investigations
(1) Where an investigation under regulation 42 is not completed within a relevant period, the chief executive must, as soon as practicable after the end of that period, provide in writing the information mentioned in paragraph (4) to the Director General. (2) Where an investigation under regulation 43, 44 or 45 is not completed within a relevant period, the Director General must, as soon as practicable after the end of that period, provide in writing the information mentioned in paragraph (4) to the chief executive, unless it appears to the Director General that to do so might prejudice the investigation or any other investigation (including a criminal investigation). (3) For the purposes of this regulation, each of the following is a “relevant period”— (a) the period of 12 months starting with the date on which— (i) the complaint to which the investigation relates was made; or (ii) the conduct matter or DSI matter to which the investigation relates came to the attention of the chief executive; (b) each subsequent period of six months starting with the day after the end of the previous relevant period. (4) The information is— (a) the date on which— (i) the complaint to which the investigation relates was made; or (ii) the conduct matter or DSI matter to which the investigation relates came to the attention of the chief executive; (b) the date on which any notice was given under regulation 50; (c) the progress of the investigation; (d) an estimate of when the report on the investigation will be submitted or completed under regulation 72 or 75; (e) the reason for the length of time being taken to complete the investigation; and (f) a summary of planned steps to progress the investigation and bring it to a conclusion. (5) The chief executive or the Director General, as the case may be, must send a copy of the information provided in writing under paragraph (1) or (2) to— (a) except where paragraph (6) applies, the complainant (if any) and any interested person; and (b) except in a case where it appears to the chief executive or the Director General, as the case may be, that to do so might prejudice the investigation or any other investigation (including a criminal investigation), the person to whose conduct the investigation relates. (6) This paragraph applies where the Director General or the chief executive, as the case may be, is of the opinion that the non-disclosure of the information is necessary for a purpose mentioned in regulation 62(3). (7) Paragraphs (4) and (5) of regulation 62 apply in relation to paragraph (6) of this regulation as they apply in relation to paragraph (1) of regulation 61.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
