Climate Change Act 2008
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 Powers to carry amounts from one budgetary period to another
(1) The Secretary of State may decide to carry back part of the carbon budget for a budgetary period to the preceding budgetary period. The carbon budget for the later period is reduced, and that for the earlier period increased, by the amount carried back. (2) The amount carried back under subsection (1) must not exceed 1% of the carbon budget for the later period. (3) The Secretary of State may decide to carry forward the whole or part of any amount by which the carbon budget for a budgetary period exceeds the net UK carbon account for the period. The amount of the carbon budget for the next budgetary period is increased by the amount carried forward. (4) Before deciding to carry an amount back or forward under this section, the Secretary of State must— (a) consult the other national authorities, and (b) obtain, and take into account, the advice of the Committee on Climate Change. (5) Any such decision must be made no later than 31st May in the second year after the end of the earlier of the two budgetary periods affected.

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.
