Local Transport Act 2008
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
102M General powers
(1) An STB may do— (a) anything it considers appropriate for the purposes of the carrying out of any of its functions (its “functional purposes”), (b) anything it considers appropriate for purposes incidental (whether directly or indirectly) to its functional purposes, (c) anything it considers to be connected with— (i) any of its functions, or (ii) anything it may do under paragraph (a) or (b), and (d) for a commercial purpose, anything which it may do under any of paragraphs (a) to (c) otherwise than for a commercial purpose. (2) Where subsection (1) confers power on an STB to do something, it confers power (subject to section 102N) to do it anywhere in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. (3) Power conferred on an STB by subsection (1) is in addition to, and is not limited by, the other powers of the STB. (4) Where an STB has an executive body established by virtue of section 102G, the STB may delegate to that body its function of taking action under subsection (1) (but not the function of determining what action to take).

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.
