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
47 Persons extradited to the United Kingdom.
(1) A short-term or long-term prisoner is an extradited prisoner for the purposes of this section if— (a) he was tried for the offence in respect of which his sentence was imposed— (i) after having been extradited to the United Kingdom; and (ii) without having first been restored or had an opportunity of leaving the United Kingdom; and (b) he was for any period kept in custody while awaiting his extradition to the United Kingdom as mentioned in paragraph (a) above. (2) If, in the case of an extradited prisoner, the court by which he was sentenced so ordered, section 67 of the 1967 Act (computation of sentences of imprisonment) shall have effect in relation to him as if a period specified in the order were a relevant period for the purposes of that section. (3) The period that may be so specified is such period as in the opinion of the court is just in all the circumstances and does not exceed the period of custody mentioned in subsection (1)(b) above.

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.
