Local Government (Contracts) Act 1997
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 Functions to include power to enter into contracts.
(1) Every statutory provision conferring or imposing a function on a local authority confers power on the local authority to enter into a contract with another person for the provision or making available of assets or services, or both, (whether or not together with goods) for the purposes of, or in connection with, the discharge of the function by the local authority. (2) Where— (a) a local authority enters into a contract such as is mentioned in subsection (1) (“the provision contract”) under any statutory provision, and (b) in connection with the provision contract, a person (“the financier”) makes a loan to, or provides any other form of finance for, a party to the provision contract other than the local authority, the statutory provision also confers power on the local authority to enter into a contract with the financier, or any insurer of or trustee for the financier, in connection with the provision contract. (3) The following are local authorities for the purposes of this Act— (a) any authority with respect to the finances of which Part IV of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Local Government Act 2003 (capital finance) has effect at the time in question, (b) any probation committee, (c) the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District, and (d) any local authority or joint board as defined in section 235(1) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. (4) In this Act “assets” means assets of any description (whether tangible or intangible), including (in particular) land, buildings, roads, works, plant, machinery, vehicles, vessels, apparatus, equipment and computer software. (5) Regulations may be made amending subsection (4).

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.
