Protection of Birds Act 1967
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
5 Restriction of ringing and marking
(1) If, save as permitted under this Act, any person— (a) rings or marks any wild bird, other than a bird mentioned in paragraph (b) below; or (b) not being an authorised person, rings or marks any wild goose or wild duck or any pheasant, partridge, grouse (or moor game), black (or heath) game or ptarmigan, he shall be guilty of an offence against the principal Act and if that offence is committed in respect of a bird included in Schedule 1 to that Act, he shall be liable to a special penalty under that Act. (2) So much of section 4(l)(c) of the principal Act as makes lawful the taking of, or an attempt to take, any wild bird, if the bird is taken or to be taken solely for the purpose of ringing or marking that or some other bird and then releasing it, shall cease to apply— (a) to any bird other than a wild goose or wild duck; (b) to anything done by any person other than an authorised person.

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.
