Welfare Reform Act 2012
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
17 Work search requirement
(1) In this Part a “work search requirement” is a requirement that a claimant take— (a) all reasonable action, and (b) any particular action specified by the Secretary of State, for the purpose of obtaining paid work (or more paid work or better-paid work). (2) The Secretary of State may under subsection (1)(b) specify the time to be devoted to any particular action. (3) Action which may be specified under subsection (1)(b) includes in particular— (a) carrying out work searches; (b) making applications; (c) creating and maintaining an online profile; (d) registering with an employment agency; (e) seeking references; (f) any action prescribed for the purpose in subsection (1). (4) Regulations may impose limitations on a work search requirement by reference to the work to which it relates; and the Secretary of State may in any particular case specify further such limitations on such a requirement. (5) A limitation under subsection (4) may in particular be by reference to— (a) work of a particular nature, (b) work with a particular level of remuneration, (c) work in particular locations, or (d) work available for a certain number of hours per week or at particular times, and may be indefinite or for a particular period.

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.
