Commons Act 1899
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
2 Procedure for making scheme.
(1) Not less than three months before the making of a scheme under this Part of this Act the council shall give the prescribed notice of their intention to make it, and shall state thereby where copies of the draft of the scheme may be obtained, and where the plan therein referred to may be inspected. . . . (2) During the three months aforesaid any person may obtain copies of the draft on payment of a sum not exceeding 2½p per copy, and may inspect the plan at the prescribed place, and may make in writing to the council any objection or suggestion with respect to the scheme or plan. (3) After the expiration of the said three months the council shall take into consideration any objections or suggestions so made, and for that purpose may, if they think fit, direct that an inquiry be held by an officer of the council. (4) The council may by order approve of the scheme, subject to such modifications, if any, as they may think desirable, and thereupon the scheme shall have full effect. Provided that if, at any time before the council have approved of the scheme, they receive a written notice of dissent either— (a) from the person entitled as lord of the manor or otherwise to the soil of the common; or (b) from persons representing at least one-third in value of such interests in the common as are affected by the scheme, and such notice is not subsequently withdrawn, the council shall not proceed further in the matter.

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.
