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
29 Appeal meeting
(1) This regulation applies where the officer concerned requests an appeal meeting in the written notice of appeal under regulation 26(3). (2) If the panel determines under regulation 26(7) that the notice of appeal sets out arguable grounds of appeal, the panel must hold an appeal meeting with the officer concerned, subject to paragraphs (3) and (6), before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the first working day after that determination. (3) The panel may extend the period referred to in paragraph (2) where they consider that it would be in the interests of justice to do so. (4) The panel must specify a date and time for the appeal meeting. (5) Paragraph (6) applies where— (a) a date and time is specified under paragraph (4), (b) the officer concerned or the officer’s police friend will not be available, and (c) the officer concerned proposes an alternative date or time. (6) Where this paragraph applies, the appeal meeting must be postponed to the alternative date or time, provided that such alternative date or time is reasonable and falls before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the first working day after the date specified by the panel. (7) The vetting authority must give the officer concerned written notice of the date, time and place of the appeal meeting. (8) The appeal meeting must not be held until the panel have received a copy of the documents required under regulation 26(6). (9) The panel must determine the procedure at the appeal meeting and, in so far as it is set out in these Regulations, must determine it in accordance with these Regulations. (10) No witness may give evidence at an appeal meeting unless the panel reasonably believes that it is necessary for the witness to do so in the interests of justice, in which case the panel must— (a) where the witness is a police officer, cause that person to be ordered to attend the appeal meeting, and (b) in any other case, cause the witness to be given notice that their attendance is necessary and of the date, time and place of the appeal meeting. (11) The appeal meeting must be held in private.

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.
