Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011
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
56 Taxation of returning officer's account
(1) Any application under section 55(7) for a returning officer's account to be taxed is to be made to the county court. (2) On any such application the court has jurisdiction— (a) to tax the account— (i) in such manner, and (ii) at such time and place, as the court thinks fit, and (b) finally to determine the amount payable to the returning officer. (3) On any such application the returning officer may apply to the court to examine any claim made by any person against the officer in respect of matters charged in the account. (4) Where an application is made in respect of a claim under subsection (3)— (a) notice of the application must be given to the claimant; (b) the court must give the claimant an opportunity to be heard and to tender any evidence; (c) the court may allow or disallow the claim, with or without costs; (d) the determination of the court is final for all purposes and as against all persons. (5) In this section “returning officer” has the same meaning as in section 55.

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.
