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.

36EA Applications by specified state professionals under section 36C
(1) Where a person applies for registration under section 36C in reliance on a specified state qualification or qualifications, the registrar must—
(a) within the period of one month beginning with the date of receipt of the application—
(i) acknowledge receipt of the application; and
(ii) inform the applicant of any missing document required for the purposes of the application;
(b) give the applicant adequate time to complete the requirements and procedures of the application process;
(c) ensure that the evidence and information which the applicant must supply in support of the application is no more than is necessary to demonstrate to the registrar that the applicant satisfies the requirements for registration;
(d) accept certified copies of documents in place of original documents, unless the Council require original documents to protect the integrity of the application process; and
(e) deal promptly with the application and notify the applicant of the result of the application within the period of four months beginning with the relevant date.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(d), a certified copy of a document is one which is certified to be a true copy of the original by a solicitor practising in any part of the United Kingdom.
(3) In subsection (1)(e), “the relevant date”, in relation to an application, is—
(a) the date when the registrar receives the application, or
(b) if any document required for the purposes of the application is missing when the registrar receives the application, the date on which the registrar first has all the documents required for those purposes.
(4) If the registrar makes a request for further evidence, information or documents from the applicant, the period beginning with the date on which the registrar makes that request and ending with the date on which the applicant complies with that request is to be disregarded in determining whether the period of four months referred to in subsection (1)(e) has expired.
(5) If the registrar imposes a requirement on the applicant under section 36CA(6), the period beginning with the date on which the registrar imposes that requirement and ending with the date on which the applicant satisfies that requirement is to be disregarded in determining whether that period of four months has expired.
(6) A document which is requested or required under section 36CA(4) or (6)(b) is not to be treated as missing for the purposes of this 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.
