Broadcasting Act 1990
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
42B Licensing etc. of restricted services.
(1) An application for a licence to provide a restricted service shall be made in such manner as OFCOM may determine, and shall be accompanied by such fee (if any) as OFCOM may determine. (2) Subject to subsections (3) to (3C), sections 40 to 42 shall apply in relation to such a licence as they apply in relation to a licence to provide a Channel 3 service. (3) In its application to a licence to provide a restricted service, section 41 shall have effect with the omission of subsections (1A) to (1C); and the maximum amount which the holder of such a licence may be required to pay by way of a financial penalty imposed in pursuance of subsection (1)(a) of that section is the maximum penalty given by subsection (3A). (3A) The maximum penalty is whichever is the greater of— (a) £250,000; and (b) 5 per cent. of the qualifying revenue for the licence holder’s last complete accounting period falling within the period for which his licence has been in force (“the relevant period”). (3B) In relation to a person whose first complete accounting period falling within the relevant period has not ended when the penalty is imposed, subsection (3A)(b) is to be construed as referring to 5 per cent. of the amount which OFCOM estimate to be the qualifying revenue for that accounting period. (3C) Section 19(2) to (6) applies for determining or estimating qualifying revenue for the purposes of subsection (3A) or (3B) above.

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.
