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
63 Financial acts of the Assembly.
(1) The Assembly may not pass a vote, resolution or Act to which this subsection applies except in pursuance of a recommendation which— (a) is made by the Minister of Finance and Personnel; and (b) is signified to the Assembly by him or on his behalf.

(3) Standing orders shall provide that a vote, resolution or Act which— (a) appropriates a sum out of the Consolidated Fund of Northern Ireland or increases a sum to be appropriated; or (b) imposes or increases a tax, shall not be passed without cross-community support.

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.
