Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007
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
33 Exercise of powers
(1) This section applies for the purposes of sections 21 to 30. (2) A power conferred on a person— (a) is additional to powers which he has at common law or by virtue of any other enactment, and (b) shall not be taken to affect those powers or Her Majesty's prerogative. (3) A constable or member of Her Majesty's forces may if necessary use reasonable force for the purpose of exercising a power conferred on him. (4) Where anything is seized it may (unless the contrary intention appears) be retained for so long as is necessary in all the circumstances. (5) A power to search premises conferred by virtue of this Act shall be taken to include power to search a container. (6) A member of Her Majesty's forces exercising a power when he is not in uniform shall, if requested to do so by a person at or about the time of exercising the power, produce to that person documentary evidence that he is a member of Her Majesty's forces.

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.
