Removal Terms (Scotland) Act 1886 Amendment Act 1890
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
2 Terms as to service and removals.
Where under any contract of service . . . the term for the commencement or the expiry of such service shall be one or other of the terms of Whit Sunday or Martinmas, a servant hired by the half-year or year shall, in the absence of express stipulation to the contrary, enter upon or quit such service (any custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding) at noon on the twenty-eighth day of May if the term be Whit Sunday, or at noon on the twenty-eighth day of November if the term be Martinmas, or on the following day at the same hour when the said terms or either of them fall on a Sunday. Notwithstanding anything in this Act contained, in all cases in which warning of removal from a house is required forty days before a Whit Sunday or Martinmas term of removal, such warning shall be given forty days before the fifteenth day of May and the eleventh day of November respectively.

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.
