Social Security Act 1998
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
76 Power to anticipate pensions up-rating order
After section 155 of the Administration Act there shall be inserted the following section— Power to anticipate pensions up-rating order 155A (1) This section applies where a statement is made in the House of Commons by or on behalf of the Secretary of State which specifies— (a) the amounts by which he proposes, by an order under section 150 above, to increase— (i) the weekly sums that are payable by way of retirement pension; or (ii) the amount of graduated retirement benefit payable for each unit of graduated contributions; and (b) the date on which he proposes to bring the increases into force (“the commencing date”). (2) Where, before the commencing date and after the date on which the statement is made, an award is made of a retirement pension or a graduated retirement benefit, the award either may provide for the pension or benefit to be paid as from the commencing date at the increased rate or may be expressed in terms of the rate appropriate at the date of the award.

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.
