Psychoactive Substances Act 2016
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
37 Power to enter and search vehicles
(1) This section applies where— (a) a police or customs officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that there is relevant evidence in a vehicle, and (b) the vehicle is not a dwelling. (2) The officer may at any time— (a) enter the vehicle and search it for relevant evidence; (b) stop and detain the vehicle for the purposes of entering and searching it. (3) Where— (a) a police or customs officer has stopped a vehicle under this section, and (b) the officer considers that it would be impracticable to search the vehicle in the place where it has stopped, the officer may require the vehicle to be taken to such place as the officer directs to enable the vehicle to be searched. (4) A police or customs officer may require— (a) any person travelling in a vehicle, or (b) the registered keeper of a vehicle, to afford such facilities and assistance with respect to matters under that person's control as the officer considers would facilitate the exercise of any power conferred by this section. (5) The powers conferred by this section may be exercised in any place to which the officer lawfully has access (whether or not it is a place to which the public has access). (6) In this section “vehicle” does not include any vessel or aircraft. (7) For provision conferring additional powers to enter and search vehicles, see section 39.

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.
