Northern Ireland Act 1998
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
5 Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
(1) Subject to sections 6 to 8, the Assembly may make laws, to be known as Acts. (2) A Bill shall become an Act when it has been passed by the Assembly and has received Royal Assent. (3) A Bill receives Royal Assent at the beginning of the day on which Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Northern Ireland signed with Her Majesty’s own hand signifying Her Assent are notified to the Presiding Officer. (4) The date of Royal Assent shall be written on the Act by the Presiding Officer, and shall form part of the Act. (5) The validity of any proceedings leading to the enactment of an Act of the Assembly shall not be called into question in any legal proceedings. (6) This section does not affect the power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for Northern Ireland, but an Act of the Assembly may modify any provision made by or under an Act of Parliament in so far as it is part of the law of Northern Ireland.

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.
