Crime and Disorder 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
66B The five requirements
(1) The first requirement is that the authorised person has evidence that the offender has committed an offence. (2) The second requirement is that a relevant prosecutor or the authorised person decides— (a) that there is sufficient evidence to charge the offender with the offence, and (b) that a youth conditional caution should be given to the offender in respect of the offence. (3) The third requirement is that the offender admits to the authorised person that he committed the offence. (4) The fourth requirement is that the authorised person explains the effect of the youth conditional caution to the offender and warns him that failure to comply with any of the conditions attached to the caution may result in his being prosecuted for the offence. (5) ... The explanation and warning mentioned in subsection (4) must be given in the presence of an appropriate adult. (6) The fifth requirement is that the offender signs a document which contains— (a) details of the offence, (b) an admission by him that he committed the offence, (c) his consent to being given the youth conditional caution, and (d) the conditions attached to the caution.

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.
