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.

24 Determining total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period
(1) The total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period are to be calculated in accordance with the following paragraphs. (2) Where the pay reference period is a week, the total hours of salaried hours work in that period are the basic hours divided by 52. (3) Where the pay reference period is two weeks, the total hours of salaried hours work in that period are the basic hours divided by 26. (4) Where the pay reference period is four weeks, the total hours of salaried hours work in that period are the basic hours divided by 13. (5) Where the pay reference period is a month, the total hours of salaried hours work in that period are the basic hours divided by 12. (6) Where the pay reference period is any other period, the total hours of salaried hours work in that period are the basic hours divided by the figure obtained by dividing 365 by the number of days in the pay reference period. (7) The basic hours are to be ascertained in accordance with the non-qualifying seafarer’s contract on the first day of the pay reference period in question unless paragraphs (8) or (9) apply. (8) The total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period are to be ascertained in accordance with regulations 26 to 28 (excess hours) if the non-qualifying seafarer— (a) during or before the payment reference period, works hours in excess of the basic hours in the calculation year, and (b) is not entitled to be paid more than an annual salary, a performance bonus and a salary premium for those excess hours. (9) The total hours of salaried hours work in a pay reference period are to be determined in accordance with regulation 29 (hours of salaried hours work if employment terminates or contract varied) if— (a) the employment terminates before the end of the calculation year, or (b) the contract is varied before the end of the calculation year so that it is no longer a contract for salaried hours work.

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.
