Navy and Marines (Wills) Act 1953
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
1 Repeal of certain special provisions regulating the wills of seamen and marines.
(1) Section five of the Navy and Marines (Wills) Act, 1865 (which regulates the operation of wills made by seamen and marines in respect of wages and other property described in that section) and section six of that Act (which makes special provisions as to wills made by seamen and marines while prisoners of war) shall cease to have effect; and accordingly the whole of that Act, the Navy and Marines (Wills) Act, 1930, and the Navy and Marines (Wills) Act, 1939, are hereby repealed. (2) The foregoing provisions of this section shall not apply to the will of any person who has died before the commencement of this Act, nor render invalid any will made before the commencement of this Act which would be valid apart from those provisions; and so much of the said section five as relates to the admission to probate in England (in respect of property described in that section) of wills made by seamen and marines in conformity with that section, and to representation under such wills, shall apply in relation to any will so made before the commencement of this Act as if that section had not been repealed.

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.
