Propose a change

Police and Justice Act 2006

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

51 Power to make consequential and transitional provision etc

(1) The Secretary of State may by order make— (a) any supplementary, incidental or consequential provision, and (b) any transitional or saving provision, that he considers necessary or expedient for the purposes of, in consequence of, or for giving full effect to any provision of this Act. (2) The power conferred by subsection (1) is exercisable by the Scottish Ministers (rather than the Secretary of State) where the provision to be made is within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament. (3) An order under this section may in particular— (a) provide for any provision of this Act which comes into force before another provision has come into force to have effect, until that other provision has come into force, with specified modifications; (b) amend or repeal— (i) any Act (including this Act and any Act passed in the same Session as this Act) or any Act of the Scottish Parliament; (ii) Northern Ireland legislation; (iii) subordinate legislation (within the meaning of the Interpretation Act 1978 (c. 30)) made before the passing of this Act. (4) Nothing in this section limits the power under section 49 to include transitional or saving provision in a commencement order under section 53. (5) The amendments that may be made by virtue of subsection (3)(b) are in addition to those that are made by, or may be made under, any other provision of this 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.

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.
