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
8 The harm test
(1) This regulation applies to information in documents which are stated to be subject to the harm test under these Regulations. (2) The information must not be supplied to the officer concerned in so far as the vetting authority considers that preventing disclosure to the officer is— (a) necessary for the purpose of preventing the premature or inappropriate disclosure of information that is relevant to, or may be used in, any— (i) criminal proceedings, (ii) misconduct proceedings, or (iii) accelerated misconduct hearing, (b) necessary in the interests of national security, (c) necessary for the purpose of the prevention or detection of crime, or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, (d) necessary for the purpose of the prevention or detection of misconduct by other police officers or police staff members or their apprehension for such matters, (e) justified on the grounds that providing the information would involve disproportionate effort in comparison to the seriousness of the matter concerned, (f) necessary and proportionate for the protection of the welfare and safety of any informant or witness, or (g) otherwise in the public interest.

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.
