Propose a change

European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020

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

What to do with it
As published

2 Retention of information received from member States

(1) This section applies where— (a) an individual who is a UK national has been convicted under the law of a member State, and (b) the central authority of the member State notifies the designated UK authority of the conviction. (2) The designated UK authority must retain a record of— (a) the conviction, and (b) any other information listed in Schedule 1 that is included in the notification. (3) The record may be retained in whatever way the designated UK authority considers appropriate. (4) If the designated UK authority is notified by the central authority of any amendment or deletion relating to the information contained in the record, the designated UK authority must amend the record accordingly. (5) Nothing in this section requires the designated UK authority to retain any information if the retention would contravene the data protection legislation (but, in determining whether the retention would contravene that legislation, the duty imposed by subsection (2) is to be taken into account).

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.
