Treasure Act 1996
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.

(1) The Secretary of State must— (a) prepare a code of practice relating to treasure; (b) keep the code under review; and (c) revise it when appropriate. (2) The code must, in particular, set out the principles and practice to be followed by the Secretary of State— (a) when considering to whom treasure should be offered; (b) when making a determination under section 10; and (c) where the Crown’s title to treasure is disclaimed. (3) The code may include guidance for— (a) those who search for or find treasure; and (b) museums and others who exercise functions in relation to treasure. (4) Before preparing the code or revising it, the Secretary of State must consult such persons appearing to him to be interested as he thinks appropriate. (5) A copy of the code and of any proposed revision of the code shall be laid before Parliament. (6) Neither the code nor any revision shall come into force until approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (7) The Secretary of State must publish the code in whatever way he considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of those interested. (8) If the Secretary of State considers that different provision should be made for— (a) England and Wales, and (b) Northern Ireland, or that different provision should otherwise be made for treasure found in different areas, he may prepare two or more separate codes.

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.
