Football Governance Act 2025
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
10 State of the game report
(1) The IFR must prepare and publish a report (a “state of the game report”) on the state of English football so far as relevant to the exercise of the IFR’s functions under this Act. (2) A state of the game report must include— (a) an overview of the main issues that the IFR considers to be affecting English football, (b) an assessment of whether any feature, or combination of features, of English football jeopardises, or risks jeopardising, the IFR’s ability to advance one or more of its objectives, and (c) information about any other matters relating to the state of English football, so far as relevant to the exercise of the IFR’s functions under this Act, that the IFR considers appropriate. (3) The first state of the game report must be published as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the end of the period of 18 months beginning with the day on which the first regulations made under section 2(3) come into force. (4) Each subsequent state of the game report must be published before the end of the period of five years beginning with the day on which the previous report is published. (5) Before publishing a state of the game report, the IFR must— (a) publish a notice— (i) stating that it intends to prepare a report, and (ii) inviting suggestions about matters to be included in the report, (b) prepare a draft report, having regard to any suggestions made within the period specified in the notice, and (c) consult the following about the draft report— (i) the Football Association; (ii) each specified competition organiser; (iii) such other persons as the IFR considers appropriate.

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.
