Stalking Protection Act 2019
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
8 Offence of breaching stalking protection order etc
(1) A person who, without reasonable excuse, breaches a stalking protection order or an interim stalking protection order commits an offence. (2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable— (a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding the general limit in a magistrates’ court or to a fine or both, or (b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to a fine or both. (3) In relation to an offence committed before 2 May 2022, the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the general limit in a magistrates’ court is to be read as a reference to 6 months. (4) If a person is convicted of an offence under this section, it is not open to the court by or before which the person is convicted to make an order under section 80 of the Sentencing Code (conditional discharge). (5) In proceedings for an offence under this section, a copy of the original stalking protection order or interim stalking protection order, certified by the designated officer for the court which made it, is admissible as evidence of its having been made and of its contents to the same extent that oral evidence of those things is admissible in those proceedings.

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.
