The Public Record Office (Fees) Regulations 2025
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.

3 Fees
(1) Subject to paragraph (3), the fees to be charged for authenticated copies or extracts from records under the charge of the Keeper of Public Records and for other services afforded by officers of the Public Record Office are to be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule. (2) In the Schedule— (a) where a fee is prescribed by reference to a period of time, the whole fee is payable in respect of a partially completed period; (b) where a fee is prescribed for a copy of an image by reference to a specified size, the size is that of the image to be copied and not that of the copy; (c) where a fee is prescribed for a copy or photograph of a page of a record, the fee is payable for a copy or photograph of each side of a page which forms a record or part of a record; (d) all fees are exclusive of value added tax. (3) The Keeper of Public Records may remit all or part of a fee— (a) where, in their opinion, the service performed or to be performed is, or is likely to be, exceptionally simple, (b) where, in their opinion, the fee was charged in error, or (c) where a person paid the fee for one of the following services specified in the Schedule— (i) the copying of key military service personnel documents (paragraph 1(a) or (b)), or (ii) a page check (paragraph 4), but no relevant records were found during the related search.

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.
