Finance Act 1980
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
102 Conveyance in consideration of debt.
(1) Where— (a) any property is conveyed to any person wholly or in part in consideration of a debt due to him; and (b) apart from this section the consideration in respect of which the conveyance would be chargeable in ad valorem duty by virtue of section 57 of the Stamp Duty Act 1891 (which deemed the debt to be the consideration) would exceed the value of the property conveyed, that consideration shall be treated as reduced to that value. (2) Where subsection (1) above applies in relation to any conveyance, it shall not be treated as stamp duty unless it is stamped in accordance with section 12 of the said Act of 1891 with a stamp denoting that it is not chargeable with any duty or that it is duly stamped.

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.
