Procurement Act 2023
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
94 General exemptions from duties to publish or disclose information
(1) A contracting authority is not required to publish or otherwise disclose information under this Act if the authority is satisfied that— (a) withholding the information from publication or other disclosure is necessary for the purpose of safeguarding national security, or (b) the information is sensitive commercial information and there is an overriding public interest in its being withheld from publication or other disclosure. (2) “Sensitive commercial information” is information which— (a) constitutes a trade secret, or (b) would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of any person if it were published or otherwise disclosed. (3) If a contracting authority withholds information under this section, the authority must publish or notify anyone to whom the information would otherwise be provided of— (a) the fact that information is being withheld, and (b) whether it is being withheld under subsection (1)(a) or (1)(b). (4) A contracting authority is not required to publish or notify someone under subsection (3) if the authority is satisfied that it would be contrary to the interests of national security to do so.

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.
