Trading Schemes 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
3 Transitional provision.
Where a person is charged with an offence by virtue of subsection (6) of section 120 of the Fair Trading Act 1973, it is a defence for him to prove that— (a) the trading scheme to which the charge relates was in operation before the commencement of this Act, (b) Part XI of the Fair Trading Act 1973 did not apply to that trading scheme at any time before that commencement, and (c) the act constituting the offence was committed without his consent or connivance.

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.
