Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001
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
5 General restriction on proceedings
(1) Proceedings for the offence to which a penalty notice relates may not be brought during the period of 21 days beginning with the date on which the notice was given (“the suspended enforcement period”). (2) If the penalty is paid before the end of the suspended enforcement period, no proceedings may be brought for the offence. (2A) Proceedings for an offence to which a penalty notice with an education option relates may not be brought against a person who has, by the end of the suspended enforcement period, asked to attend an approved educational course relating to the offence, unless section 4(8) applies. (2B) If the person to whom a penalty notice with an education option is given— (a) completes, in accordance with regulations made under section 4(9), an approved educational course relating to the offence to which the notice relates, and (b) pays the course fee in accordance with those regulations, no proceedings may be brought for the offence. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if the person to whom the penalty notice was given has made a request to be tried.

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.

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.
