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.

21 Costs on application under s. 16.

(2) Costs ordered to be paid under this section shall— (a) in the case of costs to be paid by the debtor to the person in whose favour the attachment of earnings order in question was made, be deemed to be a sum due to the designated officer for the magistrates' court; and (b) in any other case, be enforceable as a civil debt.

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.
