Harbours Act 1964
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.

27 Certain charges of certain harbour authorities to be reasonable.
(1) In place of any limitation imposed, by a statutory provision made with respect to them in particular, on the discretion of a harbour authority as to charges (of any kind other than excepted charges) that may be made by them at a harbour which, in the exercise and performance of statutory powers and duties, they are engaged in improving, maintaining or managing (not being a limitation by way of expressly providing for freedom from charges or in any other manner prohibiting the making of a charge or by way of providing, by what form of words soever, that the charges shall be such as may be reasonable), there shall, by virtue of this subsection, be imposed the limitation that the charges shall be such as may be reasonable. (2) For the purposes of the foregoing subsection the following shall be excepted charges, namely,— (a) ship, passenger and goods dues; (b) charges ascribable to the running of a ferry service in or from a harbour; (c) contributions which, by virtue of a provision included in an order section 28 of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act 1975 by virtue of paragraph 1(a) of Schedule 3 to that Actunder section 142 of the Water Resources Act 1991, fall to be assessed on several fisheries or the owners or occupiers thereof; (d) duties on licences granted under section 25 of the said Act of 1975 to fish; (e) charges in respect of licences under the Water Resources Act 1963 Chapter II of Part II of the Water Resources Act 1991 to abstract water or in respect of water authorised by such licences to be abstracted. (3) In this section “harbour authority” has the same meaning as in the last foregoing section.

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.
