As published

4 Requests for information from member States

(1) The designated UK authority may, for any of the law enforcement purposes, make a request to the central authority of a member State for information relating to any overseas convictions of an individual recorded in a criminal records database of the member State. (2) If an individual who is a national of a member State makes a request to the designated UK authority for information relating to the individual's overseas convictions, the designated UK authority must make a request to the central authority of that member State for information relating to any overseas convictions of the individual recorded in a criminal records database of the member State. (3) If the individual is a national of more than one member State, the designated UK authority must make a request to the central authority of each of those member States for the information. (4) Any information provided to the designated UK authority in response to a request made under this section may be used only— (a) for the purpose or purposes for which it was requested, and (b) in accordance with any restrictions specified by the central authority that provided it. (5) But subsection (4) does not prohibit the use of such information for the purpose of preventing an immediate and serious threat to public security. (6) In this section “overseas conviction” means a conviction under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom.

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.
