Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006
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
16 Promotion of reductions in carbon emissions: electricity distributors and suppliers
(1) Section 41A of the Electricity Act 1989 (c. 29) (promotion of the efficient use by consumers of electricity) is amended as follows. (2) In subsection (1)— (a) for “energy efficiency target” substitute “ carbon emissions reduction target ”, and (b) for “an “energy efficiency obligation”” substitute “ a “carbon emissions reduction obligation” ”. (3) For subsection (2) substitute— (2) In this section “carbon emissions reduction target” means a target for the promotion of any of the following— (a) measures for improving energy efficiency, that is to say, efficiency in the use by consumers of electricity, gas conveyed through pipes or any other source of energy which is specified in the order; (b) if the order so provides— (i) measures for increasing the amount of electricity generated, or heat produced, by microgeneration; (ii) any other measures of a description specified in the order for increasing the amount of electricity generated, or heat produced, using low-emissions sources or technologies; (iii) measures for reducing the consumption of such energy as is mentioned in paragraph (a). (4) After subsection (10) insert— (10A) An order under this section shall not include provision made by virtue of subsection (2)(b) which would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament.

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.
