Propose a change

Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000

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.

As published

76 Subordinate legislation.

(1) This section applies to any power conferred by this Act on ... the Secretary of State to make regulations, rules or an order. (2) The power, unless it is a power to make an order under section 19, 20 or 23, shall be exercisable by statutory instrument. (3) The power may be exercised so as to make different provision for different purposes or different areas. (4) The power includes power to make— (a) any supplementary, incidental or consequential provision, and (b) any transitory, transitional or saving provision, which the Minister exercising the power considers necessary or expedient. (5) An order— (a) making any provision by virtue of section 10, 26(2), 36(15), 57(5) or 70(2) or 57(5), or (b) making any provision by virtue of section 77(2) which adds to, replaces or omits any part of the text of an Act, may only be made if a draft of the statutory instrument containing the order has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. (5A) A statutory instrument containing regulations under section 71 may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (6) Any other statutory instrument made in exercise of a power to which this section applies shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (7) Subsection (6) does not apply to a statutory instrument containing an order— (a) revoking an order made by virtue of section 10, or (b) made by virtue only of section 80.

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.
