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
87 Power of Ministers and departments to offset greenhouse gas emissions
(1) An authority to which this section applies may acquire and dispose of units or interests in units representing— (a) a reduction in an amount of greenhouse gas emissions, (b) the removal of an amount of greenhouse gas from the atmosphere, or (c) an amount of greenhouse gas emissions allowed under a scheme or arrangement imposing a limit on such emissions. (2) This section applies to— (a) any Minister of the Crown or government department; (b) the Scottish Ministers; (c) the Welsh Ministers; (d) any Northern Ireland department. (3) If the Treasury acquire such units or interests in units, until they are disposed of they shall be treated as held by the persons for the time being constituting the Treasury.

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.
