Gender Recognition Act 2004
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
3E Alternative grounds for granting applications: Scotland (English and Welsh and Northern Ireland residents)
(1) This section applies to an application under section 1(1)(a) which states that it is an application for a certificate to be granted in accordance with this section. (2) In this section, and section 3F, in so far as those sections extend to England and Wales or to Northern Ireland, “protected Scottish civil partnership” and “protected Scottish marriage” have the meanings given by section 25. (3) The Panel must grant the application if satisfied that the applicant complies with the requirements imposed by and under section 3F and meets the conditions in subsections (4) to (7). (4) The first condition is that the applicant was a party to a protected Scottish marriage or a protected Scottish civil partnership on or before the date the application was made. (5) The second condition is that the applicant— (a) was living in the acquired gender six years before the commencement of section 29 of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Act 2014 (but see subsection (5A)); (b) continued to live in the acquired gender until the date the application was made; and (c) intends to continue to live in the acquired gender until death. (5A) Where the applicant is ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland, subsection (5)(a) has effect as if for the words after “was living in the acquired gender” there was substituted “on 13 January 2014”. (6) The third condition is that the applicant— (a) has or has had gender dysphoria; or (b) has undergone surgical treatment for the purpose of modifying sexual characteristics. (7) The fourth condition is that the applicant is ordinarily resident in England or Wales or in Northern Ireland. (8) The Panel must reject the application if not required by subsection (3) to grant it.

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.
