Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998
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
1 Sentence Review Commissioners.
(1) The Secretary of State shall appoint Sentence Review Commissioners. (2) The Secretary of State shall so far as reasonably practicable ensure that at any time— (a) at least one of the Commissioners is a lawyer, and (b) at least one is a psychiatrist or a psychologist. (3) In making appointments the Secretary of State shall have regard to the desirability of the Commissioners, as a group, commanding widespread acceptance throughout the community in Northern Ireland. (4) Schedule 1 (which makes further provision about the Commissioners) shall have effect. (5) In subsection (2)(a) “lawyer” means a person who holds a legal qualification in the United Kingdom.

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.
