Psychoactive Substances Act 2016
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
29 Variation following conviction
(1) This section applies where— (a) a court is dealing with a person who has been convicted of a relevant offence and against whom a prohibition order or a premises order has previously been made, or (b) a court is dealing with a person who has been convicted of an offence under section 26 of failing to comply with a prohibition order or a premises order. (2) The court may vary the prohibition order or (as the case may be) the premises order. (3) An order that has been varied under subsection (2) remains an order of the court that first made it for the purposes of sections 24 and 28. (4) An order may not be varied under this section except— (a) in addition to a sentence imposed in respect of the offence concerned, or (b) in addition to an order discharging the person conditionally or, in Scotland, discharging the person absolutely. (5) In this section “relevant offence” has the same meaning as in section 19.

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.
