Minors’ Contracts Act 1987
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
3 Restitution.
(1) Where— (a) a person (“the plaintiff”) has after the commencement of this Act entered into a contract with another (“the defendant”), and (b) the contract is unenforceable against the defendant (or he repudiates it) because he was a minor when the contract was made,the court may, if it is just and equitable to do so, require the defendant to transfer to the plaintiff any property acquired by the defendant under the contract, or any property representing it. (2) Nothing in this section shall be taken to prejudice any other remedy available to the plaintiff.

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.
