Local Government (Emergency Provisions) Act 1916
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
21 Interpretation.
For the purposes of this Act the expression “local authority” means any person or body of persons who receive or expend the proceeds of any local rate and any other public body which the Local Government Board may determine to be a local authority, but overseers of the poor shall not be included except by direction of that Board: Provided that where any such authority is a local policing body or a police authority it shall not, as such, be deemed, for the purposes of Part I. of this Act, to be a local authority. In England and Wales a teacher, officer, or servant appointed by the managers of a public elementary school not provided by the local education authority shall, and a teacher, officer, or servant of an institution aided by a local education authority out of the proceeds of any rate, may, if that authority think fit, be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to be an officer or servant of the local education authority concerned. Where the Board of Education certify to the Local Government Board that it is expedient that this Act shall apply to any public educational institution, this Act shall apply thereto, notwithstanding any trust affecting the institution, as if the managers or other governing body of the institution were a local authority, and the teachers, officers and servants of the institution were officers and servants of a local authority. For the purposes of this Act, or for such of them as may be specified by the Local Government Board, service in connection with naval or military operations which that Board consider may properly be treated in the same manner as actual naval or military service shall be deemed to be service with His Majesty’s forces. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
