Solicitors Act 1974
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
54 Restrictions on powers to strike names off roll.
(1) No solicitor shall be liable to have his name struck off the roll on account of any failure to comply with the requirements with respect to persons seeking admission as solicitors of any training regulations or on account of any defect in his admission and enrolment, unless— (a) the application to strike his name off the roll is made within twelve months of the date of his enrolment; or (b) fraud is proved to have been committed in connection with the failure or defect. (2) No solicitor shall be liable to have his name struck off the roll by reason only— (a) that a solicitor who undertook a training responsibility for him under training regulations neglected or omitted to take out a practising certificate; or (b) that the name of a solicitor who undertook such a responsibility for a period has been removed from or struck off the roll after the end of that period.

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.
