Local Government Act 2003
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

(1) A local authority may not borrow money if doing so would result in a breach of— (a) the limit for the time being determined by or for it under section 3, or (b) any limit for the time being applicable to it under section 4 , or (c) any limit for the time being applicable to it under section 12A. (2) The Secretary of State may, in relation to specific borrowing by a particular local authority, by direction disapply subsection (1)(b), so far as relating to any limit for the time being applicable under section 4(1). (3) A local authority may not, without the consent of the Treasury, borrow otherwise than in sterling. (4) This section applies to borrowing under any power for the time being available to a local authority under any enactment, whenever passed.

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.
