Marine Insurance Act 1906
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
49 Excuses for deviation or delay.
(1) Deviation or delay in prosecuting the voyage contemplated by the policy is excused— (a) Where authorised by any special term in the policy; or (b) Where caused by circumstances beyond the control of the master and his employer; or (c) Where reasonably necessary in order to comply with an express or implied warranty; or (d) Where reasonably necessary for the safety of the ship or subject-matter insured; or (e) For the purpose of saving human life, or aiding a ship in distress where human life may be in danger; or (f) Where reasonably necessary for the purpose of obtaining medical or surgical aid for any person on board the ship; or (g) Where caused by the barratrous conduct of the master or crew, if barratry be one of the perils insured against. (2) When the cause excusing the deviation or delay ceases to operate, the ship must resume her course, and prosecute her voyage, with reasonable dispatch.

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.
