Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 (Repealed 1.9.1994)
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
19 Registration and registration marks.
(1) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State— (a) on the first issue by him of a vehicle licence for a vehicle; or (b) where particulars in respect of the vehicle are furnished to him by a motor dealer in pursuance of section 20 of this Act before the Secretary of State first issues a vehicle licence for the vehicle, on receiving the said particulars, to register the vehicle in such manner as the Secretary of State thinks fit without any further application in that behalf by the person taking out the licence and, except where the Secretary of State registers the vehicle on receiving the said particulars, to assign to the vehicle a registration mark indicating the registered number of the vehicle. (1A) The Secretary of State may, in such circumstances as he may determine— (a) assign a registration mark to a vehicle to which another registration mark has been previously assigned; (b) assign to a vehicle (whether on its first registration or not) a registration mark previously assigned to another vehicle; (c) (whether in connection with an assignment falling within either of the preceding paragraphs or not) withdraw any registration mark for the time being assigned to a vehicle; (d) re-assign to a vehicle a registration mark previously assigned to it but subsequently withdrawn. (2) The registration mark for the time being assigned to a vehicle under this section shall be fixed in the prescribed manner on the vehicle, or on any other vehicle drawn by that vehicle, or on both.

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.
