Local Government Finance Act 1992
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
65 Duty to consult ratepayers.
(1) A relevant authority shall consult under this section persons or bodies appearing to it to be representative of persons subject to non-domestic rates under sections 43 and 45 of the 1988 Act as regards hereditaments situated in the authority’s area. (2) Consultations must be made as to each financial year, and must be about the authority’s proposals for expenditure (including capital expenditure) in that financial year; and the Secretary of State may by regulations prescribe matters which are to be treated as expenditure for this purpose. (3) In this section “relevant authority” means a billing authority or a major precepting authority, apart from a police and crime commissioner or a fire and rescue authority created by an order under section 4A of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004. . . .. (4) The duty to consult as to a financial year shall be performed— (a) where the authority is a billing authority, before it makes calculations (otherwise than by way of substitute) in relation to the financial year under section 31A above or section 32 above; (b) where the authority is a precepting authority, before it issues the first precept to be issued by it for the financial year. (5) In performing the duty to consult, an authority shall have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State concerning— (a) persons or bodies to be regarded for the purposes of this section as representative of persons subject to non-domestic rates under sections 43 and 45 of the 1988 Act as regards hereditaments situated in the authority’s area; and (b) the timing and manner of consultations under this section. (6) An authority shall make available to persons or bodies it proposes to consult under this section such information as may be prescribed and is in its possession or control; and it shall do so in such form and manner, and at such time, as may be prescribed.

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.
