Attachment of Earnings Act 1971
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
18 Certain action not to be taken by collecting officer except on request.
(1) Where payments under a maintenance order are payable to the family court or an officer of the family court for transmission to a person, no officer of the family court is to— (a) apply for an attachment of earnings order to secure payments under the maintenance order; or (b) except as provided by section 10(3) of this Act, apply for an order discharging or varying such an attachment of earnings order; or (c) apply for a determination under section 16 of this Act, unless he is requested in writing to do so by a person entitled to receive the payments through the family court or an officer of that court. (2) Where an officer of the family court is so requested— (a) he shall comply with the request unless it appears to him unreasonable in the circumstances to do so; and (b) the person by whom the request was made shall have the same liabilities for all the costs properly incurred in or about any proceedings taken in pursuance of the request as if the proceedings had been taken by that person.

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.
