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.

(1) This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter.
(2) If A is employed, B is a comparator if subsection (3), (4), (4A) or (4B) applies.
(3) This subsection applies if—
(a) B is employed by A's employer or by an associate of A's employer, and
(b) A and B work at the same establishment.
(4) This subsection applies if—
(a) B is employed by A's employer or an associate of A's employer,
(b) B works at an establishment other than the one at which A works, and
(c) common terms apply at the establishments (either generally or as between A and B).
(4A) This subsection applies if a single body—
(a) is responsible for setting or continuing the terms on which A and B are employed, and
(b) is in a position to ensure equal treatment between A and B in respect of such terms.
(4B) This subsection applies if the terms on which A and B are employed are governed by the same collective agreement.

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.
