Serious Crime Act 2015
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
59 Initial retention of seized substances
(1) Where— (a) a substance has been seized under section 55 or 56, and (b) there continue to be reasonable grounds to suspect that the substance was intended for use as a drug-cutting agent, it may be retained until the end of the 30th day after the date of seizure. (2) Where— (a) a substance has been seized under another enactment and is lawfully in the possession of a police or customs officer, (b) the period during which the substance may lawfully be retained under that enactment expires, and (c) there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the substance was intended for use as a drug-cutting agent, it may be retained until the end of the 30th day after the period referred to in paragraph (b).

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.
