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.
Change 1
61 Disclosing protected information about adults
(1) This section applies where— (a) a person applies to the appropriate adoption agency for protected information to be disclosed to him, and (b) none of the information is about a person who is a child at the time of the application. (2) The agency is not required to proceed with the application unless it considers it appropriate to do so. (3) If the agency does proceed with the application it must take all reasonable steps to obtain the views of any person the information is about as to the disclosure of the information about him. (4) The agency may then disclose the information if it considers it appropriate to do so. (5) In deciding whether it is appropriate to proceed with the application or disclose the information, the agency must consider— (a) the welfare of the adopted person, (b) any views obtained under subsection (3), (c) any prescribed matters, and all the other circumstances of the case. (6) This section does not apply to a request for information under section 60(2) or to a request for information which the agency is authorised or required to disclose in pursuance of regulations made by virtue of section 57(6).

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.
