Derelict Land Act 1982
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
3 Powers of local authorities.
(1) For subsection (2) of section 89 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 (treatment of derelict land) there shall be substituted the following subsection— (2) Where it appears to a local authority that any land in their area— (a) is derelict, neglected or unsightly; or (b) is not derelict, neglected or unsightly but is likely to become so by reason of actual or apprehended collapse of the surface as the result of the carrying out of relevant operations which have ceased to be carried out, they may carry out, for the purpose of reclaiming or improving that land or of enabling it to be brought into use, such works on that land or any other land as appear to them expedient. In this subsection “relevant operations” means underground mining operations other than operations for the purpose of the working and getting of coal, or of coal and other minerals worked with coal, or for the purpose of getting any product from coal in the course of working and getting coal. (2) Section 6(3) of the Local Authorities (Land) Act 1963 (which precludes, in certain circumstances, the compulsory acquisition of land for the purposes of the said subsection (2)) shall cease to have effect.

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.
