Conservation of Seals Act 1970
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.

4 Apprehension of offenders and powers of search and seizure.
(1) A constable may stop any person he suspects with reasonable cause of committing an offence under this Act and may— (a) without warrant arrest that person if he fails to give his name and address to the constable’s satisfaction; (b) without warrant search any vehicle or boat which that person may be using at that time; and (c) seize any seal, item or substance which is liable to be forfeited under section 6 of this Act. (2) A constable may sell or otherwise dispose of any seal seized under this section and the net proceeds of any sale shall be liable to forfeiture in the same manner as the seal sold: Provided that no constable shall be subject to any liability on account of his neglect or failure in the exercise of the powers conferred on him by this subsection.

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.
