Justices of the Peace Act 1997 (repealed)
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.

(1) A District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) shall by virtue of his office be a justice of the peace for every commission area. (2) Where any enactment makes provision defining the powers of any person or court by reference to the area for which a person is a justice of the peace, the provision shall have effect where that person is a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) as if it defined the powers by reference to the area for which he is for the time being acting as a justice of the peace. (3) A District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts) shall sit at such court-houses, on such days and at such times, as may be determined by, or in accordance with, directions given by the Lord Chancellor from time to time. (4) References in any enactment, instrument or other document to a district judge or deputy district judge do not include a District Judge (Magistrates’ Courts).

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.
