Solomon Islands Act 1978
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
4 British protected persons.
(1) A person who immediately before Independence Day is a British protected person by virtue of his connection with the Solomon Islands protectorate— (a) shall cease to be a British protected person on that day if he then becomes a citizen of Solomon Islands or is then a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies; but (b) otherwise, shall continue on and after that day to be a British protected person, subject to subsection (3) below. (2) A person born on or after Independence Day and before 7th July 1980 shall become a British protected person if— (a) he does not at birth acquire another nationality or become a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies; and (b) his father was born in Solomon Islands and is, at the date of the birth, a British protected person by virtue of subsection (1). (3) A person who continues to be a British protected person under subsection (1), or becomes one under subsection (2), shall cease to be a British protected person— (a) on becoming at any time a citizen of Solomon Islands or of the United Kingdom and Colonies; (b) on 7th July 1980, if he then has another nationality; or (c) after that day, on acquiring another nationality.

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.
