Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009
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
A2D2 Categories of technical education qualification
(1) The Secretary of State— (a) may specify one or more categories of technical education qualification in relation to England that may be approved under section A2D3, and (b) may specify one or more categories of technical education qualification in relation to England that may be approved under section A2D5. (2) The Secretary of State may specify a category under subsection (1)(b) only if the Secretary of State considers that it would not be appropriate for qualifications in the category to be approved under section A2D3. (3) For any category specified under subsection (1)(b), the Secretary of State must specify which of the following is the appropriate test for the purposes of section A2D5— (a) the alternative approval test (see section A2D5(3)); (b) the additional specialist competence test (see section A2D5(4)); (c) the significant outcomes test (see section A2D5(5)). (4) The Secretary of State may revise or withdraw any category specified under subsection (1). (5) A technical education qualification does not cease to be approved merely because the category is revised or withdrawn under subsection (4). (6) The Secretary of State must publish information showing— (a) the categories of technical education qualification that are for the time being specified under subsection (1), and (b) for each category, whether qualifications in the category may be approved under section A2D3 or A2D5 and, if under section A2D5, the appropriate test. (7) Before specifying a category of qualification under this section, the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

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.
