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.

(1) The Treasury shall prepare in respect of each financial year a set of accounts for a group of bodies each of which appears to the Treasury— (a) to exercise functions of a public nature, or (b) to be entirely or substantially funded from public money.

(3) The accounts shall contain such information in such form as the Treasury think fit. (4) In determining the form and content of the accounts the Treasury shall aim to ensure that the accounts— (a) present a true and fair view, and (b) conform to generally accepted accounting practice subject to such adaptations as are necessary in the context. (5) For the purpose of subsection (4)(a) and (b) the Treasury shall in particular— (a) have regard to any relevant guidance issued by the Accounting Standards Board Limited or any other body prescribed for the purposes of section 464 of the Companies Act 2006 (accounting standards) or to UK-adopted international accounting standards, within the meaning given by section 474(1) of the Companies Act 2006, and (b) ensure that the accounts include, subject to paragraph (a), a statement of financial performance, a statement of financial position and a cash flow statement.

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.
