Criminal Justice Act 1991
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
37A Curfew condition to be included in licence under section 34A.
(1) A person shall not be released under section 34A(3) above unless the licence includes a condition (“the curfew condition”) which— (a) requires the released person to remain, for periods for the time being specified in the condition, at a place for the time being so specified (which may be an approved probation hostel); and (b) includes requirements for securing the electronic monitoring of his whereabouts during the periods for the time being so specified. (2) The curfew condition may specify different places or different periods for different days, but shall not specify periods which amount to less than 9 hours in any one day (excluding for this purpose the first and last days of the period for which the condition is in force). (3) The curfew condition shall remain in force until the date when the released person would (but for his release) have served one-half of his sentence. (4) The curfew condition shall include provision for making a person responsible for monitoring the released person’s whereabouts during the periods for the time being specified in the condition; and a person who is made so responsible shall be of a description specified in an order made by the Secretary of State. (5) The power conferred by subsection (4) above— (a) shall be exercisable by statutory instrument; and (b) shall include power to make different provision for different cases or classes of case or for different areas. (6) Nothing in this section shall be taken to require the Secretary of State to ensure that arrangements are made for the electronic monitoring of released persons’ whereabouts in any particular part of England and Wales; (7) In this section “approved probation hostel” has the same meaning as in the Probation Service Act 1993.

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.

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.
