Olympic Symbol etc. (Protection) Act 1995
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
3 Infringement.
(1) A person infringes the Olympics association right if in the course of trade he uses— (a) a representation of the Olympic symbol, the Olympic motto or a protected word, or (b) a representation of something so similar to the Olympic symbol or the Olympic motto as to be likely to create in the public mind an association with it, or a word so similar to a protected word as to be likely to create in the public mind an association with the Olympic Games or the Olympic movement (in this Act referred to as “a controlled representation”). (2) For the purposes of this section, a person uses a controlled representation if, in particular, he— (a) affixes it to goods or the packaging thereof, (b) incorporates it in a flag or banner, (c) offers or exposes for sale, puts on the market or stocks for those purposes goods which bear it or whose packaging bears it, (d) imports or exports goods which bear it or whose packaging bears it, (e) offers or supplies services under a sign which consists of or contains it, or (f) uses it on business papers or in advertising.

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.
