Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004
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
41A Removal of restriction
(1) This section applies if, in a case where section 39 applies— (a) the limitation direction in respect of the offender ceases to be in force, and (b) he is treated for the purposes of the Mental Health Act 1983 as a patient in respect of whom a hospital order has effect. (2) Subsection (3) applies if a person who appears to the relevant probation body to be the victim of the offence or to act for the victim of the offence— (a) when his wishes were ascertained under section 39(2), expressed a wish to make representations about a matter specified in section 39(3) or to receive the information specified in section 39(4), or (b) has subsequently informed the relevant probation body that he wishes to make representations about such a matter or to receive that information. (3) The relevant probation body must take all reasonable steps— (a) to notify the managers of the relevant hospital of an address at which that person may be contacted; (b) to notify that person of the address of the hospital. (4) The offender is to be regarded as a patient in respect of whom a hospital order was made without a restriction order; and sections 37A and 38A are to apply in relation to him accordingly. (5) The relevant hospital has the meaning given in section 36A(6). (6) The relevant probation body has the meaning given in section 40(8).

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.
