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
As published
63 Streets with special engineering difficulties.
(1) The provisions of Schedule 4 have effect for requiring the settlement of a plan and section of street works to be executed in a street designated by the street authority as having special engineering difficulties.
(2) The Secretary of State may prescribe—
(a) the criteria for designating a street as having special engineering difficulties,
(b) the procedure for making or withdrawing such a designation, and
(c) the information to be made available by a street authority as to the streets for the time being so designated by them.
(3) Where a strategic highways company or a local highway authority are asked to designate a street as having special engineering difficulties—
(a) by a transport authority on the ground of the proximity of the street to a structure belonging to, or under the management or control of, the authority, or
(b) by an undertaker having apparatus in the street,
and decline to do so, the transport authority or undertaker may appeal to the Secretary of State who may direct that the street be designated.
(4) The designation of a street as having special engineering difficulties shall not be withdrawn except after consultation with any transport authority or undertaker at whose request the designation was made; and a designation made in pursuance of a direction by the Secretary of State shall not be withdrawn except with his consent.

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.
