Petroleum Act 1987
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
17 Existing licences.
(1) Where a licence granted under section 2 of the Petroleum (Production) Act 1934 before the coming into force of this section incorporates any of the model clauses mentioned in Schedule 1 to this Act, the model clauses as incorporated in the licence shall have effect with the amendments provided for by that Schedule. (2) Any provision of a licence which is amended by subsection (1) may be altered or deleted by an instrument under seal executed by the Secretary of State and the licensee. (3) A reference in any document to a provision of a licence which is amended by subsection (1) shall, except so far as the nature of the document or the context otherwise requires, be construed as a reference to the provision as so amended. (4) It is hereby declared that where a licence granted under section 2 of the Petroleum (Production) Act 1934 before the coming into force of this section refers to any provision of Part I of the Oil Taxation Act 1975, the reference (unless the contrary intention appears) is to that provision as it has effect for the time being for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax.

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.
