Oil and Pipelines Act 1985
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 General functions of Agency.
(1) The Agency shall have power— (a) to enter into agreements for the carrying out on behalf of the Crown of activities with respect to petroleum, pipelines and storage installations held by or on behalf of the Crown; (b) to enter into such participation agreements as the Secretary of State may determine; (c) to do anything required for the purpose of giving effect to agreements entered into under paragraph (a) or (b) above and to such participation agreements entered into by persons other than the Agency as the Secretary of State may determine; and (d) to buy, sell or otherwise deal in petroleum on its own account. (2) The consent of the Secretary of State shall be required— (a) for the exercise of any option or the making of any election which (in either case) entitles the Agency to take petroleum under a participation agreement; and (b) for any exercise of the power conferred by subsection (1)(d) above. (3) The Secretary of State, in giving a consent for the purposes of subsection (2) above, may impose such conditions as he thinks fit.

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.
