Deep Sea Mining Act 1981
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
5 Protection of the marine environment.
(1) In determining whether to grant an exploration or exploitation licence the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the Scottish Ministers shall have regard to the need to protect (so far as reasonably practicable) marine creatures, plants and other organisms and their habitat from any harmful effects which might result from any activities to be authorised by the licence; and the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers shall consider any representations made to him (or them) concerning such effects. (2) Without prejudice to section 2(3A) above, any exploration or exploitation licence granted by the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers shall contain such terms and conditions as he considers (or they consider) necessary or expedient to avoid or minimise any such harmful effects.

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.
