The Criminal and Civil Legal Aid (Amendment) Regulations 2023
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.

(3) Where an application for legal representation or family help (higher) has been determined ahead of the relevant date and regulation 5(1)(ba) or regulation 5(1)(s) of the Civil Legal Aid (Financial Resources and Payment for Services) Regulations 2013 would have applied if it had been determined on or after that date, the individual is not liable to any further contributions payable under section 23 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 towards those legal services.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
