Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986
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
1 Protected animals.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, “a protected animal” for the purposes of this Act means any living vertebrate other than man and any living cephalopod . (2) Any such vertebrate in its foetal, larval or embryonic form is a protected animal only from the stage of its development when— (a) in the case of a mammal, bird or reptile, two-thirds of the gestation or incubation period for the relevant species has elapsed; and (b) in any other case, it becomes capable of independent feeding. (2A) Any living cephalopod in its embryonic form is not a protected animal. (3) The Secretary of State may by order— (a) extend the definition of protected animal so as to include any description of invertebrates other than cephalopods ; (b) alter the stage of development specified in subsection (2) above; (c) make provision in lieu of subsection (2) above as respects any animal which becomes a protected animal by virtue of an order under paragraph (a) above. (4) For the purposes of this section an animal shall be regarded as continuing to live until the permanent cessation of circulation or the destruction of its brain. (5) In this section “vertebrate” means any animal of the Sub-phylum Vertebrata of the Phylum Chordata and “invertebrate” means any animal not of that Sub-phylum.

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.
