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.
Change 1
3 Supplementary.
(1) This section supplements section 1. (2) “Coin” includes any metal token which was, or can reasonably be assumed to have been, used or intended for use as or instead of money. (3) “Precious metal” means gold or silver. (4) When an object is found, it is part of the same find as another object if— (a) they are found together, (b) the other object was found earlier in the same place where they had been left together, (c) the other object was found earlier in a different place, but they had been left together and had become separated before being found. (5) If the circumstances in which objects are found can reasonably be taken to indicate that they were together at some time before being found, the objects are to be presumed to have been left together, unless shown not to have been. (6) An object which can reasonably be taken to be at least a particular age is to be presumed to be at least that age, unless shown not to be. (7) An object is not treasure if it is wreck within the meaning of Part IX of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995.

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.
