Propose a change

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.

44G Removal of restriction

(1) This section applies if— (a) the provider of probation services is required to provide information to a person in accordance with section 44D, and (b) the restriction order mentioned in section 44D(1)(c) has ceased to have effect (whether before or after the request for the information was made) while the hospital order continues in force.

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.
