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
13 Waiver of right to review
(1) A person in respect of whom a delivery order has been made may waive his right to review of the order.
(2) Waiver of the right to review may be made—
(a) by the person himself, or
(b) in circumstances in which it is inappropriate for the person to act for himself, by reason of his physical or mental condition or his youth, by an appropriate person acting on his behalf.
(3) Waiver of the right to review must—
(a) be made in writing in the prescribed form or a form to the like effect, and
(b) be signed in the presence of a justice of the peace or, in Scotland, a sheriff.
The “prescribed form” means that prescribed by Criminal Procedure Rules or, in Scotland, by the High Court of Justiciary by Act of Adjournal.
(4) Where a person has waived his right to review of the delivery order—
(a) no such application as is mentioned in section 12 may be made, and
(b) the order shall be taken for all purposes to be validly made.
(5) Where a person has waived his right to review, notice of that fact shall be given—
(a) if the person is in custody, to the prison governor, constable or other person in whose custody he is;
(b) if the person is on bail in England and Wales, to the officer in charge of the police station at which he is required to surrender to custody.
(6) For the purposes of subsection (5)(b) notice shall be treated as given if it is sent by registered post, or recorded delivery, addressed to the officer mentioned.

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.
