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.

516 Rules for attributing excess expenditure to earlier periods

(1) The rules in this section apply for attributing a charitable company's excess expenditure for an accounting period to earlier accounting periods under section 515. (2) The excess expenditure for an accounting period may be attributed to an earlier accounting period if— (a) the earlier period ends not more than 6 years before the end of the period in question, and (b) the charitable company's available income and gains for the earlier period exceed its non-charitable expenditure for the earlier period. (3) If the conditions in subsection (2) are met in the case of more than one earlier accounting period, the excess expenditure is to be attributed to a later accounting period in priority to an earlier accounting period. (4) The amount of excess expenditure that is to be attributed to an earlier accounting period must not be greater than the amount by which the charitable company's available income and gains for the earlier period exceed its non-charitable expenditure for the earlier period. (5) For the purposes of subsections (2)(b) and (4) the charitable company's non-charitable expenditure for the earlier accounting period includes any excess expenditure attributed to the earlier period as a result of a previous operation of this section, but ignores the attribution in question.

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.

Think it through

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.
