Customs Consolidation Act 1876

Your change, as a redline

285 Customs fund available for officers of the United Kingdom, and the Life Assurance Companies Act shall not apply to that fund.

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.

Think it through

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.
