Extradition Act 2003
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
76B Person serving sentence in United Kingdom before extradition hearing
(1) This section applies if— (a) a person has been brought before the appropriate judge under section 72(3) , 74(3) or 74A(3) but the extradition hearing has not begun; and (b) the judge is informed that the person is in custody serving a sentence of imprisonment or another form of detention in the United Kingdom. (2) The judge may order further proceedings in respect of the extradition to be adjourned until the person is released from detention pursuant to the sentence (whether on licence or otherwise). (3) In a case where further proceedings in respect of the extradition are adjourned under subsection (2)— (a) section 131 of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (remand of accused already in custody) has effect as if a reference to 28 clear days in subsection (1) or (2) of that section were a reference to six months; (b) Article 47(2) of the Magistrates' Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 (period of remand in custody) has effect as if a reference to 28 days in— (i) sub-paragraph (a)(iii), or (ii) the words after sub-paragraph (b), were a reference to six months.

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.
