Victims and Prisoners Act 2024
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
5 Code compliance
(1) Where the victims’ code makes provision about a service to be provided to victims by a person, the person must provide the service in accordance with the code unless the person has good reasons not to. (2) Any person who is subject to the duty in subsection (1) and is not an individual must ensure that procedures are in place by which other persons may complain about an alleged failure to comply with the duty. (3) If a person fails to act in accordance with the victims’ code, the failure does not of itself make that person liable to criminal or civil proceedings. (4) But the victims’ code is admissible in evidence in criminal or civil proceedings, and a court may take into account a failure to act in accordance with the code in determining a question in the 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.
