Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996
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
As published
57 Power of local housing authority to carry out works which would attract grant.
(1) A local housing authority may by agreement with a person having the requisite interest execute at his expense—
(a) any works towards the cost of which a grant under this Chapter is payable or might be paid on an application duly made and approved, and
(b) any further works which it is in their opinion necessary or desirable to execute together with the works mentioned in paragraph (a).
(2) In subsection (1), the reference to a person having the requisite interest is a reference to—

(i) entitled to possession of the premises at which the qualifying houseboat is moored or the land on which the caravan is stationed, or

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.
