Equality Act 2006
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
23 Agreements
(1) The Commission may enter into an agreement with a person under which— (a) the person undertakes— (i) not to commit an unlawful act of a specified kind, and (ii) to take, or refrain from taking, other specified action (which may include the preparation of a plan for the purpose of avoiding an unlawful act), and (b) the Commission undertakes not to proceed against the person under section 20 or 21 in respect of any unlawful act of the kind specified under paragraph (a)(i). (2) The Commission may enter into an agreement with a person under this section only if it thinks that the person has committed an unlawful act. (3) But a person shall not be taken to admit to the commission of an unlawful act by reason only of entering into an agreement under this section. (4) An agreement under this section— (a) may be entered into whether or not the person is or has been the subject of an investigation under section 20, (b) may include incidental or supplemental provision (which may include provision for termination in specified circumstances), and (c) may be varied or terminated by agreement of the parties. (5) This section shall apply in relation to the breach of a duty specified in section 34(2) as it applies in relation to the commission of an unlawful act; and for that purpose the reference in subsection (1)(b) above to section 20 or 21 shall be taken as a reference to section 32.

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.
