Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (repealed)
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
43A Application of proceeds of forfeited property.
(1) Where a court makes an order under section 43 above in a case where— (a) the offender has been convicted of an offence which has resulted in a person suffering personal injury, loss or damage; or (b) any such offence is taken into consideration by the court in determining sentence, the court may also make an order that any proceeds which arise from the disposal of the property and which do not exceed a sum specified by the court shall be paid to that person. (2) The court may only make an order under this section if it is satisfied that but for the inadequacy of the means of the offender it would have made a compensation order under which the offender would have been required to pay compensation of an amount not less than the specified amount. (3) An order under this section has no effect— (a) before the end of the period specified in section 43(4)(a) above; or (b) if a successful application under section 1(1) of the Police (Property) Act 1897 has been made.

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.
