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.

(2) A person to whom this section applies may at any time while a closure order has effect apply to— (a) the magistrates' court in respect of an order made under section 136D or 136I, or (b) the appropriate appeal court in respect of an order made by that court under section 136K. (3) If an application is made under this section notice of the date and time when, and the place at which, the hearing to consider the application will take place must be given to— (a) a constable, (b) the local authority. (c) each person on whom the closure notice relating to the closed premises was served under section 136C(3)(d) or (4), and (d) any other person who appears to the court to have an interest in the closed premises but on whom the closure notice was not served. (4) On an application under this section the court may make such order as it thinks appropriate in relation to access to any other part of a building or other structure in which the closed premises are situated. (5) It is immaterial whether any provision has been made as mentioned in section 136E(3) or 136I(5). (6) In this section “appropriate appeal court” has the same meaning as in section 136K.

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.
