Companies Act 1967 (repealed)
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
90 Summary proceedings.
(1) Summary proceedings for an offence under this Part may (without prejudice to any jurisdiction exercisable apart from this subsection) be taken against a body corporate at any place at which the body has a place of business, and against any other person at any place at which he is for the time being. (2) Notwithstanding anything in section 127(1) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, an information relating to an offence under this Part which is triable by a magistrates’ court in England and Wales may be so tried if it is laid at any time within 3 years after the commission of the offence and within 12 months after the date on which evidence sufficient in the opinion of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Secretary of State or the Industrial Assurance Commissioner (as the case may be) to justify the proceedings comes to his knowledge. (3) Summary proceedings in Scotland for an offence under this Part shall not be commenced after the expiration of 3 years from the commission of the offence. Subject to this (and notwithstanding anything in section 331 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975), such proceedings may (in Scotland) be commenced at any time within 12 months after the date on which evidence sufficient in the Lord Advocate’s opinion to justify the proceedings comes to his knowledge or, where such evidence was reported to him by the Secretary of State or the Industrial Assurance Commissioner, within 12 months after the date on which it came to the knowledge of the former or the latter (as the case may be); and subsection (3) of that section applies for the purpose of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that section. (4) For purposes of this section, a certificate of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate, the Secretary of State or the Industrial Assurance Commissioner (as the case may be) as to the date on which such evidence came to his knowledge is conclusive evidence.

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.
