Revenue Act 1889
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
30 Undisposed of residue of sailors effects.
(1) If in any case the residue or any part thereof of the estate or effects of a deceased officer, seaman, or marine, having been received by the Admiralty, remains undisposed of or unappropriated for a period of six years and-a-half from the date of the receipt by the Admiralty of notice of the death, the Admiralty shall, as soon as may be after the expiration of that period, pay or credit the said residue or part to the Greenwich Hospital capital account. Provided that this section shall not apply to any sums received by the Admiralty before the first day of April one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three and that the application under this section of any residue, or part of a residue, shall not bar any subsequent claim of any person to the same. (2) This section shall be construed as part of the Navy and Marines (Property of Deceased) Act, 1865.

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.
