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
22 Introduction.
(1) For the purposes of this Part a criminal investigation is an investigation conducted by police officers with a view to it being ascertained— (a) whether a person should be charged with an offence, or (b) whether a person charged with an offence is guilty of it. (2) In this Part references to material are to material of all kinds, and in particular include references to— (a) information, and (b) objects of all descriptions. (3) In this Part references to recording information are to putting it in a durable or retrievable form (such as writing or tape).

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.
