Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1989 (repealed 1.3.1999)
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
58 Meaning of “affirmative action”.
(1) In this Act “affirmative action” means action designed to secure fair participation in employment by members of the Protestant, or members of the Roman Catholic, community in Northern Ireland by means including— (a) the adoption of practices encouraging such participation, and (b) the modification or abandonment of practices that have or may have the effect of restricting or discouraging such participation. (2) In this section— “employment”— (a) in the application of this section for the purposes of Part I of this Act or the Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1976, has the same meaning as in that Act but includes an occupation within the meaning of that Act, and (b) in the application of this section for the purposes of Part II of this Act, has the same meaning as in that Part, and “practices” includes procedures and arrangements.

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.
