Gambling Act 2005
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
260 Misusing profits of lottery
(1) This section applies to a lottery in respect of which the promoter has stated (in whatever terms) a fund-raising purpose for the promotion of the lottery. (2) A person commits an offence if he uses any part of the profits of a lottery to which this section applies for a purpose other than that stated. (3) The reference in subsection (2) to using profits includes a reference to permitting profits to be used. (4) In subsection (1) the reference to a statement of a purpose for the promotion of a lottery is a reference to a statement appearing— (a) on lottery tickets, or (b) in an advertisement for the lottery. (5) In subsection (4)(b) “advertisement” in relation to a lottery includes any written notice announcing that a lottery will take place or inviting people to participate in a lottery (in either case whether or not it also gives other information).

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.
