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
As published
76 Power to compound actions
The Postmaster-General may compromise and compound any legal proceeding, which is commenced by his authority or under his control, against any person for recovering any fine or forfeiture incurred under this Act, on such terms and conditions as the Postmaster-General in his absolute discretion thinks proper, with full power for him, or any of his officers or agents authorised by him for the purpose, to accept any fine or forfeiture so incurred or alleged to be incurred, or any part thereof, without any legal proceeding for recovery thereof.
Your change, as a redline
76 Power to compound actions
The Postmaster-General may compromise and compound any legal proceeding, which is commenced by his authority or under his control, against any person for recovering any fine or forfeiture incurred under this Act, on such terms and conditions as the Postmaster-General in his absolute discretion thinks proper, with full power for him, or any of his officers or agents authorised by him for the purpose, to accept any fine or forfeiture so incurred or alleged to be incurred, or any part thereof, without any legal proceeding for recovery thereof.
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.
