Consumer Protection Act 1987
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
35 Recovery of expenses of enforcement.
(1) This section shall apply where a court— (a) convicts a person of an offence in respect of a contravention in relation to any goods of any safety provision . . . ; or (b) makes an order under section 16 or 17 above for the forfeiture of any goods. (2) The court may (in addition to any other order it may make as to costs or expenses) order the person convicted or, as the case may be, any person having an interest in the goods to reimburse an enforcement authority for any expenditure which has been or may be incurred by that authority— (a) in connection with any seizure or detention of the goods by or on behalf of the authority; or (b) in connection with any compliance by the authority with directions given by the court for the purposes of any order for the forfeiture of the goods.

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.
