Brine Pumping (Compensation for Subsidence) Act 1891 (repealed 8.11.1995)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
27 Appeal on questions of title.
(1) If a board disallow a claim or any item thereof on the ground that the claimant had not, as respects such claim or item, such title or interest in the property damaged by subsidence as would entitle him to recover under this Act, the claimant may appeal in manner in this section mentioned on the ground that he had such title or interest. (2) If a board allow a claim or any item thereof, any person assessed to the last rate made under this Act in and for the district may appeal in manner in this section mentioned against such allowance on the ground that the board ought to have decided that the claimant had not (as respects such claim or item) such title or interest as herein-before mentioned. (3) Notice of appeal under this section must be given in writing to the board at the meeting at which the decision appealed against is given, or within three weeks afterwards. (4) The appeal shall be brought in the county court within whose jurisdiction the land is situate, in manner prescribed by rules made or to be made by the authority for the time being empowered to make rules for the procedure and practice of county courts. (5) The judgment of the county court shall be binding on all persons, subject to an appeal to the Supreme Court according to the practice for the time being in use with respect to appeals from county courts. (6) The costs of any appeal under this section shall be in the discretion of the court in which the same are incurred. (7) If as a consequence of any decision on appeal under this section any damage is to be assessed, increased, or reduced, the claim shall stand remitted to the board to be adjudicated, and allowed, altered, increased, or reduced as the case may require.

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.
