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.

Schedule 5 Technical documentation with repairability information
Regulations 6(6) and 11(1) 1 For an electric household tumble dryer, the technical documentation must include the following information— (a) a general description of the model allowing it to be unequivocally and easily identified; (b) references to the designated standards applied or other measurement standards used; (c) specific precautions to be taken when the model is assembled, installed, maintained or tested; (d) the details and the results of calculations made in accordance with Schedule 4; (e) testing conditions, where they are not described sufficiently in the references provided pursuant to sub-paragraph (b); (f) equivalent models, if any, including model identifiers; (g) the values for the technical parameters set out in Table 1, which are considered as the declared values for the purpose of the verification procedure set out in Schedule 13; (h) a description of the disassembly steps for each priority part, including the tools and fasteners needed at each step, if any, except where the supplier chooses not to include this information; (i) the repair and maintenance information laid down in paragraph 14 of Schedule 2, except where the supplier chooses not to include this information.

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.
