Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000
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
8 Comptroller and Auditor General: access to information.
(1) For the purposes of an examination by the Comptroller and Auditor General of a government department’s accounts— (a) he shall have a right of access at all reasonable times to any of the documents relating to the department’s accounts, and (b) a person who holds or has control of any of those documents shall give the Comptroller and Auditor General any assistance, information or explanation which he requires in relation to any of those documents. (2) Subsection (1) applies only in relation to documents which are held or controlled— (a) by a government department, or (b) in pursuance of arrangements made by a government department for the compiling or handling of any of its financial records.

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.
