Metropolitan Magistrates’ Courts Act 1959
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.

4 Borrowing powers of Receiver.
(1) The Receiver may, with the approval of the Secretary of State given with the consent of the Treasury, borrow on the security described in this section any money required— (a) for acquiring any land or erecting any buildings; (b) for the execution of any works or the provision of any equipment the cost of which ought in the opinion of the Secretary of State to be spread over a term of years. (2) The security referred to in the foregoing subsection, in respect of money borrowed thereunder for the purposes of the magistrates’ courts acting for petty sessions areas falling wholly within the inner London boroughs, . . . . . . is the sums for the raising of which the Receiver is authorised by section one hundred and twenty-one of the Local Government Act 1948, to issue a precept in relation to expenses incurred for those purposes respectively. (3) The enactments described in the Schedule to this Act (being enactments relating to the borrowing powers of the Receiver) are hereby repealed to the extent specified in the third column of that Schedule; but without prejudice to section thirty eight of the Interpretation Act 1889, the repeal by this subsection of those enactments shall not affect their operation as respects money borrowed thereunder.

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.
