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.

As published
6A Interpretation of sections 5(4) and 6(7)
(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 5(4) and 6(7).
(2) The consultation and publicity requirements set out in section 7 are to be treated as having been complied with in relation to a statement or proposed amendment (“the final proposal”) if—
(a) they have been complied with in relation to a different statement or proposed amendment (“the earlier proposal”),
(b) the final proposal is a modified version of the earlier proposal, and
(c) the Secretary of State thinks that the modifications do not materially affect the policy as set out in the earlier proposal.
(3) The consultation and publicity requirements set out in section 7 are also to be treated as having been complied with in relation to a statement or proposed amendment (“the final proposal”) if—

(ii) in relation to modifications of the earlier proposal (“the main modifications”),
(b) the final proposal is a modified version of the earlier proposal, and
(c) there are no modifications other than the main modifications or, where the modifications include modifications other than the main modifications, the Secretary of State thinks that those other modifications do not materially affect the policy as set out in the earlier proposal modified by the main modifications.

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.
