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
22 Discontinuation of withdrawal assessment
(1) This regulation applies if at any time during the withdrawal assessment— (a) there is evidence made available to the assessor that was not available to the vetting authority when it made its vetting severity assessment or any revised vetting severity assessment under regulation 15, and (b) the assessor believes that the vetting authority would on further consideration be likely to determine that the matter could not reasonably lead to vetting clearance being withdrawn. (2) The assessor must, whether or not the withdrawal assessment is complete, submit to the vetting authority— (a) a statement of the assessor’s belief and the grounds for it, (b) a written report on the withdrawal assessment to that point, and (c) a statement of the assessor's judgment as to how the matter should be dealt with in accordance with regulation 15(2). (3) Where a report is submitted to the vetting authority under paragraph (2), the vetting authority must make a further vetting severity assessment under regulation 15. (4) If the vetting authority assesses that the matter concerned could reasonably lead to vetting clearance being withdrawn, the assessor must continue to proceed with the withdrawal assessment that has been commenced. (5) If the vetting authority assesses that the matter concerned could not reasonably lead to vetting clearance being withdrawn— (a) the case must be dealt with in accordance with regulation 15(2), (b) the withdrawal assessment must be discontinued, and (c) the vetting authority must as soon as practicable, and in addition to any notice required under regulation 15(6), give the officer concerned notice in writing that— (i) the notice given to the officer under regulation 18(1) has been withdrawn and no further action will be taken pursuant to that notice, and (ii) the withdrawal assessment has been discontinued.

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.
