Propose a change

Police (Northern Ireland) Act 2003

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

What to do with it
As published

33 Designations: supplementary

(1) Subsection (2) applies if, in reliance on his designation under section 30, 30A or 31, a person exercises or performs a power or duty in relation to another or purports to do so. (2) The designated person must produce his designation to the other if requested to do so. (3) A failure to comply with subsection (2) does not make the exercise or performance of the power or duty invalid. (4) The Chief Constable may at any time modify or withdraw a person’s designation under section 30, 30A or 31 by notice to him. (5) If the Chief Constable modifies or withdraws a person’s designation under section 31, he must send a copy of the notice of the modification or withdrawal to the contractor responsible for supervising the designated person in the carrying out of the functions for the purposes of which the designation was granted. (6) In subsection (5) “contractor” means a person who has entered into a contract with the Board such as is mentioned in section 31(1).

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.
