Colonial Prisoners Removal Act 1884
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 prisoners from British possessions in certain cases.
Where as regards a prisoner undergoing sentence of imprisonment in any British possession for any offence it appears to the removing authority herein-after mentioned either— (a) that it is likely that the life of the prisoner will be endangered or his health permanently injured by further imprisonment in such British possession; or (b) that the prisoner belonged, at the time of committing the said offence, to Her Majesty’s regular military or naval forces; or (c) that the offence was committed wholly or partly beyond the limits of the said British possession; or (d) that by reason of there being no prison in the said British possession in which the prisoner can properly undergo his sentence or otherwise the removal of the prisoner is expedient for his safer custody or for more efficiently carrying his sentence into effect; or, (e) that the prisoner belongs to a class of persons who under the law of the said British possession are subject to removal under this Act; in any such case the removing authority may, subject nevertheless to the regulations in force under this Act, order such prisoner to be removed to any British possession or to the United Kingdom to undergo his sentence or the residue thereof.

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.
