Immigration Act 2014
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
26 Excuses available to agents
(1) This section applies where an agent is given a notice under section 25 requiring payment of a penalty. (2) Where the notice is given for a pre-grant contravention, the agent is excused from paying the penalty if the agent shows that the prescribed requirements were complied with before the residential tenancy agreement was entered into. (3) The prescribed requirements may be complied with for the purposes of subsection (2) at any time before the residential tenancy agreement is entered into. (4) But where compliance with the prescribed requirements discloses that a relevant occupier is a person with a limited right to rent, the agent is excused under subsection (2) only if the requirements are complied with in relation to that occupier within such period as may be prescribed. (5) The excuse under subsection (2) is not available if the agent— (a) knew that the landlord would contravene section 22 by entering into the agreement, (b) had sufficient opportunity to notify the landlord of that fact before the landlord entered into the agreement, but (c) did not do so. (6) Where the notice is given for a post-grant contravention, the agent is excused from paying the penalty if either of the following applies— (a) the agent has notified the Secretary of State and the landlord of the contravention as soon as reasonably practicable; (b) the eligibility period in relation to the limited right occupier whose occupation caused the contravention has not expired. (7) For the purposes of subsection (6)(a), the agent is to be taken to have notified the Secretary of State and the landlord of the contravention “as soon as reasonably practicable” if the agent— (a) complied with the prescribed requirements in relation to each limited right occupier at the end of the eligibility period, and (b) notified the Secretary of State and the landlord of the contravention without delay on it first becoming apparent that the contravention had occurred. (8) Notification under subsection (6)(a) must be in the prescribed form and manner.

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.
