Extradition Act 1989 (repealed)
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
26 Authentication of foreign documents.
(1) In extradition proceedings in relation to a person whose return has been requested by a foreign state foreign documents may be authenticated by the oath of a witness, but shall in any case be deemed duly authenticated— (a) if they purport to be signed by a judge, magistrate or officer of the foreign state where they were issued; and (b) if they purport to be certified by being sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of State, of the foreign state. (1A) In extradition proceedings in relation to a person whose return has been requested by or on behalf of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region documents from that Region may be authenticated by the oath of a witness, but shall in any case be deemed duly authenticated— (a) if they purport to be signed by a judge, magistrate or officer of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; and (b) if they purport to be certified by being sealed— (i) with an official or public seal of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, or (ii) by an officer of that Region. (2) Judicial notice shall be taken of such certification as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (1A)(b) above, and documents authenticated by such certification shall be received in evidence without further proof.

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.
