Trustee Act 2000
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
34 Power to insure.
(1) For section 19 of the Trustee Act 1925 (power to insure) substitute— Power to insure. 19 (1) A trustee may— (a) insure any property which is subject to the trust against risks of loss or damage due to any event, and (b) pay the premiums out of the trust funds. (2) In the case of property held on a bare trust, the power to insure is subject to any direction given by the beneficiary or each of the beneficiaries— (a) that any property specified in the direction is not to be insured; (b) that any property specified in the direction is not to be insured except on such conditions as may be so specified. (3) Property is held on a bare trust if it is held on trust for— (a) a beneficiary who is of full age and capacity and absolutely entitled to the property subject to the trust, or (b) beneficiaries each of whom is of full age and capacity and who (taken together) are absolutely entitled to the property subject to the trust. (4) If a direction under subsection (2) of this section is given, the power to insure, so far as it is subject to the direction, ceases to be a delegable function for the purposes of section 11 of the Trustee Act 2000 (power to employ agents). (5) In this section “trust funds” means any income or capital funds of the trust. (2) In section 20(1) of the Trustee Act 1925 (application of insurance money) omit “whether by fire or otherwise”. (3) The amendments made by this section apply in relation to trusts whether created before or after its commencement.

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.
