Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004
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
24 Consideration of reports in public interest
(1) This section applies if the Auditor General for Wales makes a report under section 22 on a matter which comes to his notice in the course of the audit of the accounts of a body. (2) The body must take the report into consideration— (a) as soon as practicable after receiving it, if the body is a body mentioned in subsection (3); (b) in accordance with section 25, in any other case. (3) The bodies referred to in subsection (2)(a) are— (a) a port health authority; (b) a conservation board; (c) an internal drainage board; (d) a local probation board; (e) a probation trust. (4) The agenda supplied to members of the body for the meeting of the body at which the report is to be considered must be accompanied by the report. (5) Subsection (6) applies to these powers— (a) the power under section 1(4)(b) of the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 (c. 67) to exclude items from the matter supplied under that section (supply of agenda etc. to newspapers); (b) the power under section 100BA(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 (c. 70) to— (i) exclude documents from the documents published under section 100BA(1) of that Act, or (ii) exclude items from the matter supplied under section 100BA(9) of that Act (public access to agenda and reports before meetings and supply of agenda etc. to newspapers).

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.
