Learning and Skills Act 2000
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
145 Further education colleges: governors’ liability.
(1) Subsection (2) applies where a member of a body listed in subsection (3) is found liable in civil legal proceedings in respect of something which he did or omitted to do in the course of carrying out his duties as a member of the body. (2) If— (a) the member of the body applies to a court for an order under this subsection, and (b) the court considers that the action or omission which gives rise to the member’s liability was honest and reasonable, the court may make an order extinguishing, reducing or varying the liability. (3) The bodies referred to in subsection (1) are— (a) a further education corporation established by virtue of section 15, 16 or 47 of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, (aa) a sixth form college corporation as defined in section 90 of that Act, and (b) a body corporate established by virtue of section 143(4) or (5) of this Act. (4) Where a member of a body listed in subsection (3) applies to a court for an order under this subsection, the court may make any order which— (a) relates to liability in civil legal proceedings which may come to be incurred by the member in respect of a specified course of action, and (b) is of a kind which the court could have made if the liability had already been incurred. (5) In subsections (2)(a) and (4) “a court” means the High Court or the county court; but this subsection is subject to any order under section 1 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 (allocation of business between High Court and county courts).

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.
