Broadcasting Act 1996
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
103 Report to Secretary of State.
(1) If OFCOM — (a) are satisfied that a broadcasting body has failed to comply with subsection (1) of section 101 or subsection (1) or (1A) of section 101B, and (b) are not satisfied that in all the circumstances it would be unreasonable to expect the body to have complied with that subsection, they shall make a report on the matter to the Secretary of State. (2) If OFCOM are satisfied that, in connection with an application for consent under subsection (1) of section 101 or subsection (1) or (1A) of section 101B, a broadcasting body has— (a) provided them with information which was false in a material particular, or (b) withheld any material information with the intention of causing OFCOM to be misled, they shall make a report on the matter to the Secretary of State. (2A) Before reporting to the Secretary of State that a broadcasting body has failed to comply with subsection (1) or (1A) of section 101B, OFCOM shall consult such persons (who may include competent authorities in EEA States or qualifying CTT States) as appear to OFCOM to be appropriate. (3) In this section “broadcasting body” means the BBC or S4C.

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.
