Propose a change

Sentencing 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.

What to do with it
As published

105 Youth offender panel: change of residence

(1) This section applies where the court which made a referral order is satisfied that— (a) the offender has changed, or proposes to change, residence (to the “new residence”), and (b) the youth offending team for the time being specified in the order (“the current team”) does not have the function of implementing referral orders in the area of the offender's new residence (“the new area”). (2) The court may amend the order so that it specifies instead the youth offending team which has the function of implementing referral orders in the new area (“the new team”). (3) Where the court does so, this Chapter (and, in particular, section 91(2) (duty to establish youth offender panel)) applies to the new team accordingly. This is subject to subsection (4). (4) If a youth offender contract has already taken effect under the referral order between the offender and the youth offender panel established by the current team— (a) section 95 does not apply to the new team, and (b) the contract has effect after the amendment as a youth offender contract between— (i) the offender, and (ii) the youth offender panel established by the new team.

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.
