Finance Act 1898
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.

6 Removal of doubt as to 54 & 55 Vict. c. 39, ss. 54, 57, so far as regards foreclosure decrees.
For the removal of doubts with reference to the effect of sections fifty-four and fifty-seven of the Stamp Act 1891, it is hereby declared that the definition of “conveyance on sale” in the said section fifty-four includes a decree or order for, or having the effect of an order for, foreclosure. Provided that— (a) the ad valorem stamp duty upon any such decree or order shall not exceed the duty on a sum equal to the value of the property to which the decree or order relates, and where the decree or order states that value that statement shall be conclusive for the purpose of determining the amount of the duty; and (b) where ad valorem stamp duty is paid upon such decree or order, any conveyance following upon such decree or order shall be exempt from the ad valorem stamp duty.

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.
