Criminal Justice Act 1993
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
3 Questions immaterial to jurisdiction in the case of certain offences.
(1) A person may be guilty of a Group A or Group B offence whether or not— (a) he was a British citizen at any material time; (b) he was in England and Wales at any such time. (2) On a charge of conspiracy to commit a Group A offence, or on a charge of conspiracy to defraud in England and Wales, the defendant may be guilty of the offence whether or not— (a) he became a party to the conspiracy in England and Wales; (b) any act or omission or other event in relation to the conspiracy occurred in England and Wales. (3) On a charge of attempting to commit a Group A offence, the defendant may be guilty of the offence whether or not— (a) the attempt was made in England and Wales; (b) it had an effect in England and Wales. (4) Subsection (1)(a) does not apply where jurisdiction is given to try the offence in question by an enactment which makes provision by reference to the nationality of the person charged. (5) Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to any charge under the Criminal Law Act 1977 brought by virtue of section 1A of that Act. (6) Subsection (3) does not apply in relation to any charge under the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 brought by virtue of section 1A of that Act.

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.
