New Forest Act 1949
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
13 Regeneration of ancient and ornamental woods.
(1) For the purpose of giving effect to the requirements of section eight of the Act of 1877 that the ancient and ornamental woods in the Forest shall be preserved and of regenerating those woods, the verderers may, on a presentment made to them by the Forestry Commissioners, authorise the Commissioners in accordance with working plans made by the Commissioners and approved by the verderers— (a) to enclose any parts of the said woods, in addition to any land which may be enclosed apart from this section; (b) to carry out in enclosures made by virtue of this section such forestry operations as appear to the Commissioners to be requisite: Provided that no one enclosure made by virtue of this section shall exceed 8 hectares in area. (2) Any enclosure made by virtue of this section shall be laid open so soon as the verderers with the agreement of the Forestry Commissioners determine that to do so will not prejudice the purpose for which the enclosure was made. (3) While any land is enclosed by virtue of this section it shall be held free from all rights of the commoners but subject to any right of the public to use highways crossing the land.

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.
