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
5F Right of appeal against decisions in respect of police officers
(1) A police officer may appeal against a decision of the vetting authority of the police force concerned to add or vary a condition to which the officer’s vetting clearance is subject. (2) A police officer who is seeking to transfer to another police force may appeal against a decision of the vetting authority of that police force to— (a) grant the officer vetting clearance subject to conditions, (b) decline to grant the officer vetting clearance, (c) add or vary a condition to which the officer’s vetting clearance is subject, or (d) revoke the officer’s vetting clearance. (3) The appeal must be made to a person nominated by the vetting authority whose decision is being appealed against (“the vetting appeal decision maker”) who— (a) has the appropriate level of knowledge, skills and experience to carry out the appeal, and (b) was not involved in the decision appealed against. (4) The only grounds of appeal under this regulation are that— (a) the decision was unreasonable; (b) there is evidence that could not reasonably have been considered as part of the decision which could have materially affected the decision; (c) there was procedural or other unfairness which could have materially affected the decision. (5) On completion of the appeal, the vetting appeal decision maker must make a written report to the vetting authority setting out its decision and the reasons for it. (6) Before making any decision to add or vary a condition to which a police officer’s vetting clearance is subject, the vetting appeal decision maker must consult with the vetting authority which granted the vetting clearance. (7) The vetting authority must uphold the decision of the vetting appeal decision maker.

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.
