Animals Act 1971
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
4 Liability for damage and expenses due to trespassing livestock.
(1) Where livestock belonging to any person strays on to land in the ownership or occupation of another and— (a) damage is done by the livestock to the land or to any property on it which is in the ownership or possession of the other person; or (b) any expenses are reasonably incurred by that other person in keeping the livestock while it cannot be restored to the person to whom it belongs or while it is detained in pursuance of section 7 of this Act, or in ascertaining to whom it belongs; the person to whom the livestock belongs is liable for the damage or expenses, except as otherwise provided by this Act. (2) For the purposes of this section any livestock belongs to the person in whose possession it is. (3) This section does not apply in relation to horses on land in England (as to which, see section 4A).

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.
