Civil Contingencies 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
27 Parliamentary scrutiny
(1) Where emergency regulations are made— (a) a senior Minister of the Crown shall as soon as is reasonably practicable lay the regulations before Parliament, and (b) the regulations shall lapse at the end of the period of seven days beginning with the date of laying unless during that period each House of Parliament passes a resolution approving them. (2) If each House of Parliament passes a resolution that emergency regulations shall cease to have effect, the regulations shall cease to have effect— (a) at such time, after the passing of the resolutions, as may be specified in them, or (b) if no time is specified in the resolutions, at the beginning of the day after that on which the resolutions are passed (or, if they are passed on different days, at the beginning of the day after that on which the second resolution is passed). (3) If each House of Parliament passes a resolution that emergency regulations shall have effect with a specified amendment, the regulations shall have effect as amended, with effect from— (a) such time, after the passing of the resolutions, as may be specified in them, or (b) if no time is specified in the resolutions, the beginning of the day after that on which the resolutions are passed (or, if they are passed on different days, the beginning of the day after that on which the second resolution is passed). (4) Nothing in this section— (a) shall prevent the making of new regulations, or (b) shall affect anything done by virtue of regulations before they lapse, cease to have effect or are amended under this section.

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.
