Adoption and Children Act 2002
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.

39 Partners of parents
(1) This section applies if a child’s home is with a partner of a parent and the partner has given notice of intention to adopt.

(3) If subsection (2) does not apply, the following persons may remove the child— (a) a parent or guardian, (b) a person who has the court’s leave, (c) a local authority or other person in the exercise of a power conferred by any enactment, other than section 20(8) of the 1989 Act or section 76(5) of the 2014 Act.

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.
