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
86 Report on the civil estate
(1) It is the duty of the Minister for the Cabinet Office to lay before Parliament in respect of each year, beginning with the year 2008, a report containing an assessment of the progress made in the year towards improving the efficiency and contribution to sustainability of buildings that are part of the civil estate. (2) The report must, in particular, include an assessment of the progress made in the year to which it relates towards— (a) reducing the size of the civil estate, and (b) ensuring that buildings that become part of the civil estate fall within the top quartile of energy performance. (3) If a building that does not fall within the top quartile of energy performance becomes part of the civil estate in the year to which the report relates, the report must state the reasons why the building has nevertheless become part of the civil estate. (4) A report under this section must be laid before Parliament not later than 1st June in the year following the year to which it relates. (5) In this section “building” means a building that uses energy for heating or cooling the whole or any part of its interior. (6) For the purposes of this section, a building is part of the civil estate if it is— (a) used for the purposes of central government administration, and (b) of a description of buildings for which, at the passing of this Act, the Treasury has responsibilities in relation to efficiency and sustainability. (7) The Minister for the Cabinet Office may by order provide for buildings of a specified description to be treated as being, or as not being, part of the civil estate for the purposes of this section. (8) Any such order is subject to affirmative resolution procedure.

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.
