Electricity (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2003
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
2 Removal of restrictions on capacity to acquire certain securities
(1) Sections 72 and 74 of the Electricity Act 1989 (c. 29) (which relate to the capacity of the Secretary of State and the Treasury to acquire securities of the successor companies) are repealed. For the avoidance of doubt, the repeal of section 72(1) does not affect the capacity of the Secretary of State or the Treasury, apart from any enactment, to acquire (or to acquire rights to subscribe for) securities of any company. (2) The Secretary of State may by order made by statutory instrument repeal to any extent any of the other provisions of Part 2 of the Electricity Act 1989 (reorganisation of the electricity industry). (3) Such an order may make consequential, transitional or saving provision (including provision modifying the Electricity Act 1989 or any other Act). (4) Such an order may not be made unless a draft of it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.

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.
