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
As published
75ZB Working jointly with the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales
(1) This section applies where it appears to the Commissioner that a case which he is—
(a) examining in accordance with regulations made under section 74, or
(b) considering whether to examine in accordance with such regulations,
relates to or raises a matter which could be the subject of an investigation by the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (the ‘connected matter’).
(2) Where the Commissioner considers it appropriate, he must inform the Ombudsman about the connected matter.
(3) Where the Commissioner considers that the case also relates to or raises a matter which he is entitled to examine himself (the ‘children matter’), he must also if he considers it appropriate—
(a) inform the Ombudsman about the Commissioners proposals for examination of the case, and
(b) consult the Ombudsman about those proposals.
(4) Where the Commissioner and the Ombudsman consider that they are entitled to examine, respectively, the children matter and the connected matter they may—
(a) co-operate with each other in the separate examination of each of those matters;
(b) act together in the examination of those matters; and
(c) prepare and publish a joint report containing their respective conclusions in relation to the matters they have each examined.
(5) Where the Commissioner considers—
(a) that the case is not one which relates to or raises a matter that he is entitled to examine himself, and
(b) that it is appropriate to do so,
he must inform the person whose case it is, or another person interested in it that he thinks fit, about how to secure referral to the Ombudsman of the connected matter.

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.
