The Mines Regulations 2014
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
34 Information about inrush hazards
(1) The mine operator must obtain, so far as is reasonably practicable, all the information which indicates, or tends to indicate, the presence or absence of a potentially hazardous area in the vicinity of any working being carried on, or proposed to be carried on, in the mine. (2) The mine operator must ensure that no working is undertaken in the mine in the vicinity of a body of surface water until— (a) such steps are taken as may be necessary to ascertain the total thickness of the strata lying between the working and the surface water; and (b) the mine operator is satisfied that the strata are sufficiently reliable to prevent an inrush of water from the surface. (3) In this regulation— (a) “body of surface water” means the sea, a lake or river, or any other body of surface water (whether accumulated naturally or not); and (b) “potentially hazardous area” means— (i) any disused workings (whether mine workings or not); (ii) any rock or stratum containing or likely to contain water (whether dispersed or in natural cavities); (iii) any peat, moss, sand, gravel, silt, or other material that flows or is likely to flow when wet; and (iv) any body of surface water.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
