The Police (Vetting) Regulations 2025
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
10 Legal and other representation
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the officer concerned has the right to be represented by a relevant lawyer of the officer's choice (“a preferred lawyer”) at an interview or an appeal meeting. (2) The unavailability of one or more preferred lawyers is not a valid ground for delaying an interview or an appeal meeting where an alternative relevant lawyer can be found. (3) If the officer concerned chooses not to be legally represented, the officer may have their vetting clearance withdrawn or receive any other outcome under regulation 24 without being so represented. (4) The vetting authority may be represented at an interview or an appeal meeting by— (a) a police officer or police staff member of the police force concerned, and (b) a relevant lawyer (whether or not the officer concerned chooses to be legally represented). (5) Subject to paragraph (6), the vetting authority may appoint a person to advise a panel chair. (6) A person appointed under paragraph (5) must not be an interested party.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
