Propose a change

Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012

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.

(3) That authority must be— (a) in the case of a child who is being looked after by a local authority, that authority, and (b) in any other case, the local authority in whose area it appears to the court that the child habitually resides or the offence or one of the offences was committed. (4) The designated authority must— (a) receive the child, and (b) provide or arrange for the provision of accommodation for the child whilst the child is remanded to local authority accommodation.

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.
