Hong Kong (Overseas Public Servants) Act 1996
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
5 Payments under Orders in Council.
(1) An Order in Council under this Act may make provision for the amount of payments under the Order in Council to be determined in any specified manner. (2) The manner of determining the amount of payments under such an Order in Council need not be similar to the manner of determining the amount of other overseas public service payments. (3) The circumstances specified in an Order in Council under section 4 for the making of payments need not be similar to those for the making of other overseas public service payments. (4) The references in subsections (2) and (3) to other overseas public service payments are to payments to public servants in connection with the ending of Her Majesty’s sovereignty or jurisdiction over any colony or other territory apart from Hong Kong. (5) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
