Agriculture and Horticulture Act 1964
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
14 Offences in connection with grading.
(1) A person shall be guilty of an offence if he sells any regulated produce in contravention of section 12 above or, with intent to sell any such produce in circumstances such that the sale would contravene that section, he— (a) offers or exposes the produce for sale, or (b) not being the producer thereof, has the produce in his possession for sale, or (c) being the producer thereof, consigns the produce for sale. (2) A person shall be guilty of an offence if, on behalf of the owner of any regulated produce— (a) he carries out a sale of the produce in circumstances such that the sale contravenes section 12 above, or (b) with intent to carry out a sale of the produce in such circumstances, he offers or exposes it for sale or has it in his possession for sale. (3) A person shall be guilty of an offence if, having given an undertaking such as is mentioned in section 12(2)(d) of this Act, he fails to comply with the undertaking. (4) A person shall be guilty of an offence if— (a) he wilfully represents, whether by affixing an incorrect label to the container of any regulated produce or in any other manner, that regulated produce the quality of which is inferior to that required for a prescribed grade falls within that grade, or (b) without lawful authority he affixes to the container of any regulated produce, or to the produce itself, a label in a form prescribed for the purposes of section 13(2) above or for the purposes of any corresponding provision of an enactment of the Parliament of Northern Ireland for the time being in force, or (c) where under the said section 13(2) or any such corresponding provision a label has been affixed to the container of any regulated produce, or to the produce itself, he, with intent to deceive, removes, alters, defaces or conceals the label.

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.
