Water Industry Act 1991
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
17A Water supply licences
(1) The Authority may grant to a person a licence in respect of the use of the supply system of a water undertaker (a “water supply licence”). (2) A water supply licence may give the holder of the licence one or more of the following authorisations and combination of authorisations— (a) a retail authorisation; (b) a wholesale authorisation; (c) a restricted retail authorisation; (d) a restricted retail authorisation and a supplementary authorisation. (3) Schedule 2A makes provision as to the authorisations (including their operation in England and Wales). (4) In the case of each of the authorisations, an authorisation to do a thing is an authorisation to do it in accordance with Chapter 2A of Part 3. (5) The Authority may exercise the power to grant a water supply licence only in accordance with a general authorisation given by the Secretary of State. (6) Before giving a general authorisation as regards the Authority, the Secretary of State must consult the Welsh Ministers. (7) References in this Act to a water supply licensee are references to a person that is the holder for the time being of a water supply licence.

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.
