Export Guarantees and Overseas Investment Act 1978 (repealed 23.10.1991)
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.

10 Controlled companies.
Where a company is controlled by any person, then— (a) for the purposes of the provisions of this Act relating to guarantees— (i) any contract entered into by the Secretary of State with that person shall, in so far as it provides for the Secretary of State to make payments to that person in respect of any loss of that company or in respect of any deficit on an account relating both to activities of that company and to activities of that person, be deemed a contract to indemnify that person against loss and a guarantee within the meaning of this Act; (ii) any guarantee given by the Secretary of State to or for the benefit of that company shall be deemed to be given for the benefit also of that person; and (b) for the purposes of section 2(2) above, any arrangements made by the Secretary of State for facilitating the payment of sums payable under a contract with that company shall be deemed to be arrangements for facilitating the payment of sums payable under a contract with that person.

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.
