Adoption Act 1976
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
46 Meaning of “disposition”.
(1) In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires,— “disposition” includes the conferring of a power of appointment and any other disposition of an interest in or right over property; “power of appointment” includes any discretionary power to transfer a beneficial interest in property without the furnishing of valuable consideration. (2) This Part applies to an oral disposition as if contained in an instrument made when the disposition was made. (3) For the purposes of this Part, the death of the testator is the date at which a will or codicil is to be regarded as made. (4) For the purposes of this Part, provisions of the law of intestate succession applicable to the estate of a deceased person shall be treated as if contained in an instrument executed by him (while of full capacity) immediately before his death.

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.
