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
29 Delegation and contracting out
(1) The functions of the Secretary of State under sections 13 to 25 may be exercised by, or by the employees of, such person as the Secretary of State may authorise for the purpose (an “authorised person”). (2) An authorisation given by virtue of this section may authorise the exercise of a function— (a) wholly or to a limited extent; (b) generally or in particular cases or areas; (c) unconditionally or subject to conditions. (3) An authorisation under this section— (a) may specify its duration; (b) may be varied or revoked at any time by the Secretary of State; (c) does not prevent the Secretary of State or another person from exercising the function to which the authorisation relates. (4) Anything done or omitted to be done by or in relation to an authorised person (or an employee of that person) in, or in connection with, the exercise or purported exercise of the function concerned is to be treated for all purposes as done or omitted to be done by or in relation to the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) an officer of the Secretary of State. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply— (a) for the purposes of so much of any contract made between the authorised person and the Secretary of State as relates to the exercise of the function, or (b) for the purposes of any criminal proceedings brought in respect of anything done or omitted to be done by the authorised person (or an employee of that person). (6) Where— (a) the authorisation of an authorised person is revoked, and (b) at the time of the revocation so much of any contract made between the authorised person and the Secretary of State as relates to the exercise of the function is subsisting, the authorised person is entitled to treat the contract as repudiated by the Secretary of State (and not as frustrated by reason of the revocation).

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.
