Prison Act 1952
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
33 Power to provide prisons, etc.
(1) The Secretary of State may with the approval of the Treasury alter, enlarge or rebuild any prison and build new prisons. (2) The Secretary of State may provide new prisons by declaring to be a prison— (a) any building or part of a building built for the purpose or vested in him or under his control; or (b) any floating structure or part of such a structure constructed for the purpose or vested in him or under his control. (3) A declaration under this section may with respect to the building or part of a building declared to be a prison make the same provisions as an order under the next following section may make with respect to an existing prison. (4) A declaration under this section may at any time be revoked by the Secretary of State. (5) A declaration under this section shall not be sufficient to vest the legal estate of any building in the Secretary of State.

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.
