Housing Act 2004
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
259 HMOs: persons treated as occupying premises as only or main residence
(1) This section sets out when persons are to be treated for the purposes of section 254 as occupying a building or part of a building as their only or main residence. (2) A person is to be treated as so occupying a building or part of a building if it is occupied by the person— (a) as the person’s residence for the purpose of undertaking a full-time course of further or higher education; (b) as a refuge, or (c) in any other circumstances which are circumstances of a description specified for the purposes of this section in regulations made by the appropriate national authority. (3) In subsection (2)(b) “refuge” means a building or part of a building managed by a voluntary organisation and used wholly or mainly for the temporary accommodation of persons who have left their homes as a result of— (a) physical violence or mental abuse, or (b) threats of such violence or abuse, from persons who are or were their spouses or civil partners or with whom they are or were co-habiting.

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.
