(2) A court shall not include in a community order a requirement under subsection (1) above unless the court— (a) has been notified by the Secretary of State that electronic monitoring arrangements are available in the relevant areas specified in subsections (7) to (10) below; and (b) is satisfied that the necessary provision can be made under those arrangements. (3) Where— (a) it is proposed to include in an exclusion order a requirement for securing electronic monitoring in accordance with this section; but (b) there is a person (other than the offender) without whose co-operation it will not be practicable to secure the monitoring, the requirement shall not be included in the order without that person’s consent. (4) Where— (a) it is proposed to include in a community rehabilitation order or a community punishment and rehabilitation order a requirement for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s compliance with a requirement such as is mentioned in paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 2 to this Act; but (b) there is a person (other than the offender) without whose co-operation it will not be practicable to secure the monitoring, the requirement shall not be included in the order without that person’s consent.

(7) In the case of a curfew order or an exclusion order, the relevant area is the area in which the place proposed to be specified in the order is situated. In this subsection, “place”, in relation to an exclusion order, has the same meaning as in section 40A below.

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.
