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
102R Change of name
(1) An STB may change its name by a resolution in accordance with this section. (2) The resolution must be considered at a meeting of the STB that is specially convened for the purpose. (3) Particulars of the resolution must be included in the notice of the meeting. (4) The resolution must be passed at the meeting by not less than two-thirds of the members of the STB who vote on it. (5) An STB which changes it name under this section must— (a) send notice of the change to the Secretary of State, and (b) publish the notice in such manner as the Secretary of State may direct. (6) A change of name under this section does not affect the rights or obligations of the STB or any other person, or render defective any legal proceedings. (7) Any legal proceedings may be commenced or continued as if there had been no change of name.

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.
