Propose a change

Counter-Terrorism Act 2008

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

46 Power to amend specified terms or periods of imprisonment or detention

(1) The Secretary of State may by order amend the provisions of section 45 referring to a specified term or period of imprisonment or detention. (2) An order reducing a specified term or period has effect only in relation to persons dealt with after the order comes into force. (3) Where an order increases a specified term or period— (a) it has effect in relation to persons dealt with at any time, whether before or after the order comes into force, and (b) a person who would not have been subject to the notification requirements if the order had been in force when the offence was dealt with (and who is not otherwise subject to those requirements) ceases to be subject to the requirements when the order comes into force. (4) An order under this section is subject to affirmative resolution procedure.

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.
