Propose a change

The Authorised Investigators (Complaints and Misconduct) Regulations 2026

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

64 Exceptions to duties to keep the complainant and interested person informed

(1) Paragraph (2) specifies the circumstances in which the duties imposed on the Director General and the Minister under regulations 61 and 62 do not apply. (2) The circumstances are where, in the opinion of the Director General or the Minister, as the case may be— (a) the disclosure would be disproportionate; or (b) the non-disclosure of information is necessary for a purpose mentioned in paragraph (3). (3) The purposes are— (a) preventing the premature or inappropriate disclosure of information that is relevant to, or may be used in, any actual or prospective criminal proceedings; (b) preventing the disclosure of information in any circumstances in which its non-disclosure— (i) is in the interests of national security; (ii) is for the purposes of the prevention or detection of crime, or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders; or (iii) is otherwise necessary in the public interest. (4) The Director General or the Minister, as the case may be, may only conclude that the non-disclosure of information is necessary under paragraph (2) if satisfied that— (a) there is a real risk of the disclosure of that information causing an adverse effect; and (b) that adverse effect would be significant. (5) The Director General or the Minister, as the case may be, must consider whether the non-disclosure of information is necessary under paragraph (2) in circumstances where— (a) that information is relevant to, or may be used in, any actual or prospective disciplinary proceedings or performance proceedings or appeal against the outcome of such proceedings; (b) the disclosure of that information may lead to the contamination of the evidence of witnesses during such proceedings or appeal; (c) the disclosure of that information might prejudice the welfare or safety of any third party; (d) that information constitutes criminal intelligence.

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.

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.
