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
6 Variation and revocation of licences.
(1) The Secretary of State may vary or revoke any exploration or exploitation licence— (a) where the variation or revocation is in the opinion of the Secretary of State required— (i) to ensure the safety, health or welfare of persons engaged in any of the licensed operations or ancillary operations; or (ii) to protect any marine creatures, plants or other organisms or their habitat; or (iii) in pursuance of section 8 below; or (iv) to avoid a conflict with any obligation of the United Kingdom arising out of any international agreement in force for the United Kingdom; (b) in any case, with the consent of the licensee. (2) The Secretary of State may revoke an exploration or exploitation licence in any case where a term or condition of the licence or any regulation made under this Act has not been complied with. (3) This section applies in relation to an exploration or exploitation licence granted by the Scottish Ministers as if references to the Secretary of State were references to the Scottish Ministers.

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.
