Safety of Sports Grounds Act 1975
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.

3 Applications for certificates.
(1) If a local authority receive an application for a safety certificate for a designated sports ground in their area, it shall be their duty to determine whether the applicant is a person likely to be in a position to prevent contravention of the terms and conditions of a certificate; and such a person is referred to in this Act as a “qualified person”. (2) If a local authority determine that an applicant is a qualified person— (a) where no general safety certificate for the sports ground is in operation, they shall issue such a certificate for it to him; and (b) where a general safety certificate for the sports ground is in operation, they may issue a special safety certificate for it to him. (3) The local authority shall send a copy of an application for a safety certificate for a sports ground to the chief officer of police and where the local authority is in Wales, Greater London or a metropolitan county, the fire authority or, in any other case, the building authority for the area in which it — (a) the chief officer of police, and (b) if the local authority are not the fire and rescue authority, the fire and rescue authority, and (c) if the local authority are not the building authority, the building authority, for the area in which the sports ground is situated, and shall consult them about the terms and conditions to be included in the certificate. (4) The local authority may by notice in writing require an applicant for a safety certificate to furnish them within such reasonable time as they may specify in the notice with such information and such plans as they consider necessary to enable them to determine the terms and conditions which ought to be included in any certificate issued in response to his application. (5) If an applicant for a safety certificate fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (4) above within the time specified by the local authority, or within such further time as they may allow, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn his application.

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.
