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

What to do with it
As published

Article 4

1.   Until 30 June 1968 the Commission is authorised, in the interests of the service and in order either to rationalise its administration or to meet requirements resulting from a reduction in the number of posts, to adopt measures terminating the service of officials, provided for in Article 47 of the Staff Regulations, in manner provided hereinafter. 2.   Where the Commission intends to take the measures provided for in paragraph 1 in respect of officials of grades other than A 1 and A 2, it shall draw up a list of the officials to be affected by such measures in each grade, after consulting the Joint Committee, taking into account the officials' ability, efficiency, conduct in the service, family circumstances and seniority. An official whose name appears on such a list may opt for termination of service as provided for in paragraph 1 or for non-active status. If the latter Article 41 (3), (4) and (5) of the Staff Regulations shall apply. An official who proposes to opt for non-active status shall declare his choice within one month from the date on which he was informed that his name appeared on the list provided for in the first sub-paragraph; in default, he shall forgo the right to opt. 3.   If the interests of the service permit, the Commission shall take into account an official's request that his service be terminated under paragraph 1. 4.   The measures provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall in no way constitute disciplinary measures. 5.   Until 30 June 1968, but without prejudice to paragraph 2, the Commission shall take no decision placing an official on non-active status or retiring an official in the interests of the service.

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.
