Brine Pumping (Compensation for Subsidence) Act 1891 (repealed 8.11.1995)
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
24 Mode of dealing with claims.
A board shall disallow any claim for damage which in their opinion was not caused by subsidence of any land or was caused by subsidence of land which is proved not to have been caused by brine pumping, or in respect of which in their opinion (subject to appeal as in this Act mentioned) the claimant has not such title or interest as would entitle him to recover under this Act; and shall disallow any claim to the extent to which in their opinion the damage in respect of which the claim was made has been occasioned or increased by any neglect or default of the claimant or of any person by whose acts he is affected or bound, or by the buildings or other matters in respect of which the claim was made, having been of an unnecessarily expensive kind, or improperly constructed, having regard to the liability of the district or any part thereof to subsidence. The brine pumpers shall be entitled to be heard before the board on all claims exceeding one thousand pounds.

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.
