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.

499 Meaning of “insurance year” and “final insurance year”

(1) In this Chapter “insurance year”, in relation to a policy or contract, means the 12 months beginning with— (a) the date on which the insurance or contract is made, or (b) any anniversary of that date. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to subsections (3) and (5). (3) An event referred to in section 484(1)(a)(i) or (iii) or (b) to (e) (surrender of all rights, final participation in profits, death, maturity, or taking a capital sum as a complete alternative to annuity payments) is treated as ending the insurance year in which it occurs. (4) In this Chapter “final insurance year” means an insurance year that is ended as a result of subsection (3). (5) But if, as a result of subsection (3), an insurance year would begin and end in the same tax year— (a) that insurance year and the previous insurance year are treated as one insurance year, and (b) “final insurance year” needs to be read accordingly.

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.

Think it through

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.
