Propose a change

Sexual Offences Act 2003

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.

What to do with it
As published

122K Sexual risk orders and interim sexual risk orders: supplementary

(1) Rules of court— (a) may provide for a youth court to give permission for an application under section 122A against a person aged 18 or over to be made to the youth court if— (i) an application to the youth court has been made, or is to be made, under that section against a person aged under 18, and (ii) the youth court thinks that it would be in the interests of justice for the applications to be heard together; (b) may, in relation to a person attaining the age of 18 after proceedings against that person by virtue of section 122A, 122D or 122E have begun— (i) prescribe circumstances in which the proceedings may or must remain in the youth court; (ii) make provision for the transfer of the proceedings from the youth court to a magistrates' court that is not a youth court (including provision applying section 122E with modifications). (2) A person's age is treated for the purposes of sections 122A to 122J and this section as being that which it appears to the court to be after considering any available evidence.

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.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
