Enterprise Act 2016
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
11 Power to abolish the Commissioner
(1) The Secretary of State may, by regulations, abolish the office of Small Business Commissioner if, as a result of a review under section 10, the Secretary of State is satisfied that— (a) it is no longer necessary for there to be a Small Business Commissioner carrying out the functions under this Part, or (b) the Commissioner's role has not been sufficiently effective to justify the office's continued existence. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), the Secretary of State must, in particular, take account of the Commissioner's role in— (a) carrying out any of the functions under this Part, (b) improving payment practices in commercial transactions, and (c) improving the awareness of small businesses of alternative dispute resolution procedures. (3) For the purposes of giving effect to the abolition of the office of Small Business Commissioner, the regulations may amend or repeal this Part or any provision made by or under any other enactment (whether passed or made before or after this Act). (4) Regulations under this section may make incidental, supplemental, consequential, transitional or transitory provision or savings. (5) Before making regulations under this section, the Secretary of State must consult— (a) the Small Business Commissioner (unless that office is vacant), (b) such other persons as appear to the Secretary of State to be persons affected by the regulations, and (c) such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. (6) If, as a result of consultation under subsection (5), the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to change the whole or part of the proposed regulations, the Secretary of State must carry out such further consultation with respect to the changes as seems appropriate.

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.
