Family Law Act 1996
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
63L Remand: medical examination and report
(1) Any power to remand a person under section 63K(1) may be exercised for the purpose of enabling a medical examination and report to be made if the relevant judge has reason to consider that a medical report will be required. (2) If such a power is so exercised, the adjournment must not be for more than 4 weeks at a time unless the relevant judge remands the accused in custody. (3) If the relevant judge remands the accused in custody, the adjournment must not be for more than 3 weeks at a time. (4) Subsection (5) applies if there is reason to suspect that a person who has been arrested— (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (b) under a warrant issued on an application made under section 63J(2); is suffering from mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983. (5) The relevant judge has the same power to make an order under section 35 of the Mental Health Act 1983 (c. 20) (remand for report on accused's mental condition) as the Crown Court has under section 35 of that Act in the case of an accused person within the meaning of that section.

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.
