Access to Justice Act 1999
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
93 Approved enforcement agencies.
(1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) In the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, after section 125A (inserted by section 92 above) insert— Execution by approved enforcement agency. 125B (1) A warrant to which section 125A(1) above applies may also be executed anywhere in England and Wales— (a) by an individual who is an approved enforcement agency; (b) by a director of a company which is an approved enforcement agency; (c) by a partner in a partnership which is an approved enforcement agency; or (d) by an employee of an approved enforcement agency who is authorised in writing by the agency to execute warrants.

(3) Failure by a magistrates’ courts committee to comply with any provision of, or made under, section 31A(2) to (5) of the Justices of the Peace Act 1997 does not of itself render unlawful the execution of a warrant.

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.
