Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996
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
14 Public interest: review for summary trials.
(1) This section applies where this Part applies by virtue of section 1(1). (2) At any time— (a) after a court makes an order under section 3(6), 7A(8) or 8(5), and (b) before the accused is acquitted or convicted or the prosecutor decides not to proceed with the case concerned, the accused may apply to the court for a review of the question whether it is still not in the public interest to disclose material affected by its order. (3) In such a case the court must review that question, and if it concludes that it is in the public interest to disclose material to any extent— (a) it shall so order, and (b) it shall take such steps as are reasonable to inform the prosecutor of its order. (4) Where the prosecutor is informed of an order made under subsection (3) he must act accordingly having regard to the provisions of this Part (unless he decides not to proceed with the case concerned).

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.
