Social Security (Recovery of Benefits) Act 1997
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
19 Payments by more than one person.
(1) Regulations may make provision (including provision modifying this Act) for any case in which two or more persons (“the compensators”) make compensation payments to or in respect of the same injured person in consequence of the same accident, injury or disease. (2) In such a case, the sum of the liabilities of the compensators under section 6 is not to exceed the total amount of the recoverable benefits, and the regulations may provide for determining the respective liabilities under that section of each of the compensators. (3) The regulations may (among other things) provide in the case of each compensator— (a) for determining or re-determining the part of the recoverable benefits which may be taken into account in his case, (b) for calculating or re-calculating in accordance with section 8 or 8A the amount of any compensation payment, (c) for giving credit for amounts already paid, and (d) for the payment by any person of any balance or the recovery from any person of any excess.

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.
