Opticians Act 1989
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
11 Publication of registers and proof of registration
(1) The Council shall publish from time to time information from each register in such form (including electronic form) as they consider appropriate. (2) The information published by the Council shall include— (a) a list of all persons or bodies whose names are in the registers on a date specified by the Council at the time of publication; (b) the number assigned to the person or body on the appropriate register; and (c) such other particulars (if any) as the Council may direct in relation to registrants or a particular class of registrants. (3) A copy of the appropriate register purporting to be published by the Council shall be evidence (and in Scotland sufficient evidence) in all proceedings that the persons or bodies whose names are in the appropriate register are registrants, and the absence of the name of any person or body from such a copy of the appropriate register shall be evidence, until the contrary is shown, that that person or body is not a registrant. (4) The registrar may issue a certificate that— (a) a person’s or body’s name is in the appropriate register; (b) a person’s or body’s name is not in the appropriate register; (c) a person’s or body’s name was in the appropriate register at a specified date or during a specified period; (d) a person’s or body’s name was not in the appropriate register at a specified date or during a specified period; or (e) a person’s or body’s name has never been in the appropriate register. (5) A certificate issued under subsection (4) above shall be evidence (and in Scotland sufficient evidence) of the matters certified. (6) Subsections (3) and (4) above shall apply to entries made in accordance with rules made under section 10(1A) above as they apply to registration in the appropriate register.

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.
