Crime (Sentences) Act 1997
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
7 Offences under service law.
(1) Where— (a) a person has at any time been convicted of an offence under section 70 of the Army Act 1955 or the Air Force Act 1955 or section 42 of the Naval Discipline Act 1957; and (b) the corresponding civil offence (within the meaning of that Act) was a serious offence, a class A drug trafficking offence or a domestic burglary, the relevant section shall have effect as if he had at that time been convicted in England and Wales of the corresponding civil offence. (2) Subsection (3) of section 6 above applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that section.

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.
