Pilotage Act 1987
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
6 Pilot boats.
(1) Ships regularly employed in pilotage services provided by or on behalf of any competent harbour authority (in this Act referred to as “pilot boats”) shall— (a) if they are operated by the authority, be approved by the authority; and (b) otherwise be licensed by it; and the authority shall not approve or license any ship under this subsection unless it is satisfied that it is suitable for use as a pilot boat. (2) A competent harbour authority shall make such other provision as it considers necessary for the operation of pilot boats.

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.
