Land Drainage Act 1991
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.

63 Power of internal drainage boards to dispose of land.
(1) Subject to the following provisions of this section, an internal drainage board may dispose of land held by them in any manner they wish. (2) Except with the consent of the relevant Minister, an internal drainage board shall not dispose of land under this section, otherwise than by way of a short tenancy, for a consideration less than the best that can reasonably be obtained.

(4) For the purposes of this section a disposal of land is a disposal by way of a short tenancy if it consists of— (a) the grant of a term not exceeding seven years; or (b) the assignment of a term which at the date of the assignment has not more than seven years to run.

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.
