Agriculture Act 1993
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.

17 Levies.
(1) This section applies where— (a) property, rights or liabilities of a milk marketing board are transferred under section 11 above in accordance with an approved scheme, and (b) under the scheme, any liabilities of the board are excepted from transfer under that section. (2) The appropriate authority may, on the application of the board, by order give effect to a scheme enabling the board to require eligible producers to make contributions for the purpose of enabling it to meet its liabilities. (3) The appropriate authority shall not make an order under subsection (2) above unless it is satisfied— (a) that the board’s assets are insufficient to meet its liabilities; (b) that the board has taken all reasonable steps to minimise the amount required to meet its liabilities; (c) that there is no other reasonably practicable way of discharging its liabilities; (d) that the amount proposed to be raised under the scheme is reasonable; and (e) that the basis on which contributions are to be assessed under the scheme is reasonable. (4) In subsection (2) above, the reference to eligible producers is to the persons who, under the approved scheme, are entitled to participate in the distribution of assets of the board by virtue of their being, or having been, registered producers.

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.
