International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs Act 1976
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.

7 Offences as to use of transport equipment.
(1) If any person without reasonable excuse uses or causes or permits to be used transport equipment for the international carriage of perishable foodstuffs, being equipment required to comply with regulations under this Act— (a) without there being either a certificate of compliance in force for that equipment or a valid certification plate affixed to it in accordance with regulations under this Act, (b) without exhibiting the designated mark for that equipment, or (c) in contravention of any regulations made under this Act, he shall be guilty of an offence. (2) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. (3) In any proceedings for an offence under this section, it shall be a defence for the person charged to prove that— (a) he is the carrier for hire or reward of the perishable foodstuffs to which the charge relates; and (b) it is a term of the contract for the carriage that he does not undertake to comply or to secure compliance with the requirements of the regulation to which the charge relates.

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.
