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

(2) The provision which may be made by regulations under this section includes provision— (a) as to the timing of ballots; (b) as to the non-domestic ratepayers entitled to vote in a ballot; (c) as to the question to be asked in a ballot; (d) as to the form that ballots may take; (e) as to the persons who are to hold ballots; (f) as to the conduct of ballots; (g) conferring power on the Secretary of State to declare ballots void in cases of material irregularity; (h) for or in connection with enabling a billing authority to recover the costs of a ballot from such persons and in such circumstances as may be prescribed. (3) Nothing in subsection (2) is to be taken as limiting the power conferred by subsection (1). (4) No regulations under subsection (1) which include provision of the kind mentioned in subsection (2)(b) shall be made by the Secretary of State unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing the regulations (whether containing them alone or with other provisions) has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.

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.
