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.

41 Remand time to count towards time served.
(1) This section applies to any person whose sentence falls to be reduced under section 67 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967 (“the 1967 Act”) by any relevant period within the meaning of that section (“the relevant period”). (2) For the purpose of determining for the purposes of this Part— (a) whether a person to whom this section applies has served one-half or two-thirds of his sentence; or (b) whether such a person would (but for his release) have served three-quarters of that sentence, the relevant period shall, subject to subsection (3) below, be treated as having been served by him as part of that sentence. (3) Nothing in subsection (2) above shall have the effect of reducing the period for which a licence granted under this Part to a short-term or long-term prisoner remains in force to a period which is less than— (a) one-quarter of his sentence in the case of a short-term prisoner; or (b) one-twelfth of his sentence in the case of a long-term prisoner.

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.
