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
20 Amounts overpaid under section 6.
(1) Regulations may make provision (including provision modifying this Act) for cases where a person has paid to the Secretary of State under section 6 any amount (“the amount of the overpayment”) which he was not liable to pay. (2) The regulations may provide— (a) for the Secretary of State to pay the amount of the overpayment to that person, or to the person to whom the compensation payment is made, or partly to one and partly to the other, or (b) for the receipt by the Secretary of State of the amount of the overpayment to be treated as the recovery of that amount. (3) Regulations made by virtue of subsection (2)(b) are to have effect in spite of anything in section 71 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (overpayments—general). (4) The regulations may also (among other things) provide— (a) for the re-calculation in accordance with section 8 or 8A of the amount of any compensation payment, (b) for giving credit for amounts already paid, and (c) for the payment by any person of any balance or the recovery from any person of any excess. (5) This section does not apply in a case where section 14 applies.

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.
