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.

As published
129 Duty of undertaker to reinstate.
(1) It is the duty of the undertaker by whom road works are executed to reinstate the road.
(2) He shall begin the reinstatement as soon after the completion of any part of the road works as is reasonably practicable and shall carry on and complete the reinstatement with all such dispatch as is reasonably practicable.
(3) He shall before the end of the next working day after the day on which the reinstatement is completed give the required notice that he has completed the reinstatement of the road, stating whether the reinstatement is permanent or interim.
(4) If it is interim, he shall complete the permanent reinstatement of the road as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within six months (or such other period as may be prescribed) from the date on which the interim reinstatement was completed; and he shall give the required notice when he has done so.
(5) The permanent reinstatement of the road shall include, in particular, the reinstatement of features designed to assist people with a disability.
(5A) For the purposes of subsection (3) or (4) an undertaker gives the required notice by—
(a) giving to the Commissioner a notice containing such information as may be prescribed, and
(b) entering in the SRWR a copy of that notice.
(6) An undertaker who fails to comply with any provision of this section commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
(7) In proceedings against a person for an offence of failing to comply with subsection (2) it is a defence for him to show that any delay in reinstating the road was in order to avoid hindering the execution of other works, or other parts of the same works, to be undertaken immediately or shortly thereafter.

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.
