Propose a change

Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 (repealed)

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

5 Orders excluding persons from Great Britain.

(1) If the Secretary of State is satisfied that any person— (a) is or has been concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism to which this Part of this Act applies; or (b) is attempting or may attempt to enter Great Britain with a view to being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of such acts of terrorism, the Secretary of State may make an exclusion order against him. (2) An exclusion order under this section is an order prohibiting a person from being in, or entering, Great Britain. (3) In deciding whether to make an exclusion order under this section against a person who is ordinarily resident in Great Britain, the Secretary of State shall have regard to the question whether that person’s connection with any country or territory outside Great Britain is such as to make it appropriate that such an order should be made. (4) An exclusion order shall not be made under this section against a person who is a British citizen and who— (a) is at the time ordinarily resident in Great Britain and has then been ordinarily resident in Great Britain throughout the last three years; or (b) is at the time subject to an order under section 6 below.

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.
