British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990
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
3 Procedure.
(1) The Governor of Hong Kong may by regulations make provision— (a) with respect to the manner in which applications are to be made to him under any scheme made for the purposes of section 1(1) above or under Schedule 2 to this Act and generally with respect to the procedure to be followed in Hong Kong in connection with any such scheme or that Schedule; and (b) for the payment, at such times as may be specified, of fees in respect of such applications and in respect of the registration of any person by virtue of this Act.

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.
