Data Protection Act 2018
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
135 Manifestly unfounded or excessive requests by data subjects etc
(A1) This section makes provision about cases in which a request made to the Commission, to which the Commission is required or authorised to respond under the data protection legislation, is manifestly unfounded or excessive. (1) ... The Commission may— (a) charge a reasonable fee for dealing with the request, or (b) refuse to act on the request. (1A) In subsection (1)— (a) the reference in paragraph (a) to charging a reasonable fee is, in a case in which section 134 is relevant, a reference to doing so under that section, and (b) paragraph (b) is not to be read as implying anything about whether the Commission may refuse to act on requests that are neither manifestly unfounded nor excessive. (2) An example of a request that may be excessive is one that merely repeats the substance of previous requests. (3) In any proceedings where there is an issue as to whether a request described in subsection A1 is manifestly unfounded or excessive, it is for the Commission to show that it is. (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5) Article 57(3) of the UK GDPR (performance of Commission's tasks generally to be free of charge for data subject) has effect subject to this section.

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.
