Customs and Excise Duties (General Reliefs) Act 1979
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.

10 Relief from excise duty on certain United Kingdom goods re-imported.
(1) Without prejudice to any other enactment relating to excise, the following provisions of this section shall have effect in relation to goods manufactured or produced in the United Kingdom or the Isle of Man which are re-imported into the United Kingdom after exportation therefrom. (2) If the goods are at the date of their re-importation excise goods, they may on re-importation be delivered for home use without payment of excise duty if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners— (a) that at the date of their exportation the goods were not excise goods or, if they were then excise goods, that the excise duty had been paid before their exportation; and (b) that no drawback in respect of the excise duty and no allowance has been paid on their exportation or that any such drawback or allowance so paid has been repaid to the Consolidated Fund; and (c) that the goods have not undergone any process outside the United Kingdom since their exportation. (3) If the goods both are at the date of their re-importation and were at the date of their exportation excise goods, but they were exported without the excise duty having been paid from a warehouse or from the place where they were manufactured or produced, then, where the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say— (a) it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that they have not undergone any process outside the United Kingdom since their exportation; and (b) any allowance paid on their exportation is repaid to the Consolidated Fund, the goods may on their re-importation, subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Commissioners may impose, be entered and removed without payment of excise duty for re-warehousing or for return to the place where they were manufactured or produced, as the case may be. (4) Nothing in this section shall authorise the delivery for home use of any goods not otherwise eligible therefor. (5) In this section— “excise goods” means goods— (a) of a class or description chargeable at the time in question with a duty of excise; or (b) in the manufacture or preparation of which any goods of such a class or description have been used; “the excise duty” means the duty by virtue of which the goods are or were at the time in question excise goods.

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.
