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.

343 Sexual harm prevention order

(1) In this Code a “sexual harm prevention order” means an order made under this Chapter in respect of an offender. (1A) A sexual harm prevention order may— (a) prohibit the offender from doing anything described in the order; (b) require the offender to do anything described in the order. (2) The only prohibitions or requirements that may be included in a sexual harm prevention order are those necessary for the purpose of— (a) protecting the public or any particular members of the public from sexual harm from the offender, or (b) protecting children or vulnerable adults generally, or any particular children or vulnerable adults, from sexual harm from the offender outside the United Kingdom. (3) The prohibitions or requirements which are imposed on the offender by a sexual harm prevention order must, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid— (a) any conflict with the offender’s religious beliefs, (b) any interference with the times, if any, at which the offender normally works or attends any educational establishment, and (c) any conflict with any other court order or injunction to which the offender may be subject (but see section 349).

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.
