Inquiries Act 2005
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 Inquiries converted under section 15
(1) This section applies where an inquiry (the “original inquiry”) is converted under section 15 into an inquiry under this Act. (2) The appointment of a person who at the date of conversion is— (a) one of the persons holding, or due to hold, the original inquiry (an “original member”), (b) an assessor, counsel or solicitor to the inquiry, or (c) a person engaged to provide assistance to the inquiry, continues as if made under this Act, and for the purposes of section 12(5) is treated as made by the Minister on the date of conversion. (3) Any obligation arising under an order of the original inquiry, or otherwise in connection with that inquiry, is enforceable only as it would be if the original inquiry had not been converted. (4) No rights or obligations arise under or by virtue of this Act before the date of conversion.

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.
