Weights and Measures Act 1985
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
71 Inspection of local weights and measures arrangements.
(1) The Secretary of State may from time to time cause an inspection to be made of, or of any part of, any such arrangements as are mentioned in section 70 above.

(3) The officer— (a) may examine any equipment or records kept in connection with those arrangements, (b) may require any inspector having duties under those arrangements to give such assistance and information as the officer may reasonably specify, and (c) may make reasonable enquiries of any person who appears to the officer likely to be able to give him information concerning the operation of those arrangements. (4) The officer by whom any inspection under this section is made shall report its results in writing to the Secretary of State. (5) The Secretary of State shall send a copy of the report to any local weights and measures authority concerned and to any chief inspector responsible for the operation of all or any of the arrangements inspected. (6) The Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, publish any such report in whole or in part.

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.
