Parliamentary Costs Act 2006
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
11 Application for assessment etc. on award of vexatious costs
(1) A person entitled to recover costs under section 9(2)(a) or 10(2)(a) or (b) may apply for their assessment and certification. (2) A person entitled to recover costs under section 9(2)(b) or 10(2)(c) may apply only for their certification. (3) The application must be made to the taxing officer of the House to which the members of the committee awarding the costs belong. (4) The application— (a) must be made before the end of the period of six months beginning with the date of the committee's report, but (b) if made under subsection (1), must not be made before the end of the period of one month beginning with the day on which a duly signed bill of the costs is delivered to the person required to pay those costs. (5) “Duly signed”, in relation to a bill of costs, means signed (or, where appropriate, sealed) by or on behalf of the applicant.

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.
