Forestry Act 1967
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.

26 Expenses etc. in connection with notices under s. 24 , s. 24C(3) or s. 24D(2).
(1) If the appropriate forestry authority, in the exercise of their powers under section 24 , section 24C(9) or section 24D(4), enter on land and take any steps required by a notice under either of those sections, they may recover from the person to whom the notice was given any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith. (2) The appropriate forestry authority may remove and either retain or dispose of trees felled by them in the exercise of their said powers, and shall, on a claim made in the prescribed manner by the owner of any trees so removed, pay to him a sum equal to the value of those trees after deducting any expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with the removal or disposal. (3) Subject to any express agreement to the contrary, any expenses incurred by a person for the purpose of complying with a notice under section 24, and any sums paid by a person in respect of expenses of the appropriate forestry authority under that section, shall be deemed to be incurred or paid by that person— (a) where the notice relates to works required to be carried out in pursuance of conditions of a felling licence, for the use and at the request of the applicant for the licence; (b) where the notice requires compliance with felling directions, for the use and at the request of the person to whom the directions were given. (4) Any sums recoverable by or from the appropriate forestry authority under this section may be recovered as a simple contract debt.

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.
