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
85 Vacant dwellings: use of information obtained for council tax purposes
In Schedule 2 to the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (c. 14) (council tax: administration), after paragraph 18 there is inserted— 18A (1) A billing authority may use information it has obtained for the purpose of carrying out its functions under Part 1 of this Act for the purpose of— (a) identifying vacant dwellings, or (b) taking steps to bring vacant dwellings back into use. (2) The power under sub-paragraph (1) above, so far as relating to personal information, extends only to information which consists of an individual’s name or an address or number for communicating with him. (3) In this paragraph— “personal information” means information which relates to an individual (living or dead) who can be identified— from that information, or from that information and other information of the authority, and includes any expression of opinion about the individual and any indication of the intentions of any person in respect of the individual; “vacant dwelling” means a dwelling in which no one lives and which is substantially unfurnished.

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.
