Domestic Abuse Act 2021

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

32 Conditions for making an order

(1) The court may make a domestic abuse protection order under section 28 or 31 against a person (“P”) if conditions A and B are met. (2) Condition A is that the court is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that P has been abusive towards a person aged 16 or over to whom P is personally connected. (3) Condition B is that the order is necessary and proportionate to protect that person from domestic abuse, or the risk of domestic abuse, carried out by P. (4) It does not matter— (a) whether the abusive behaviour referred to in subsection (2) took place in England and Wales or elsewhere, or (b) whether it took place before or after the coming into force of this section. (5) A domestic abuse protection order may not be made against a person who is under the age of 18.

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.
