Local Government Act 1948
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) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) The aggregate gross charge to rates . . . , for Scotland, for the year preceding the year for which the payment by the British Transport Commission in question has to be made, as ascertained and certified by the Minister or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State, shall be multiplied by two hundred and forty and divided by the rateable value . . . , for Scotland, for the said preceding year, as so ascertained and certified. (2A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2AA) In ascertaining the gross charge aforesaid for Scotland for any year the Secretary of State shall treat the aggregate amount of the domestic element of rate support grants for that year as an amount required to be paid by virtue of the rates levied for that year by authorities in Scotland. (3) The results of the calculation directed to be made by subsection (2) of this section shall then be reduced or increased to the nearest whole number, by ignoring any fraction which is less than one-half and treating any other fraction as equivalent to one. (4) The adjustment . . . is the application to the standard amount of the fraction of which the numerator is the result of the calculation directed to be made by subsection (2) of this section, reduced or increased to the nearest whole number, and the denominator is— (a) . . . (b) in the case of a payment for the benefit of local authorities in Scotland, . . . the number certified by the Secretary of State to be the estimated result, to the nearest whole number, of a similar calculation as respects Scotland.

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.
