Justices of the Peace Act 1979 (repealed 19.6.1997)
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
26A Justices’ chief executives and justices’ clerks to be employed under contracts of service.
(1) Except as provided by this Act, a justices’ chief executive or justices’ clerk— (a) shall be employed by the magistrates’ courts committee, on such terms as they may determine, and (b) shall hold and vacate office in accordance with the terms of his contract of service. (2) Subsection (1) above shall not have effect in relation to any person appointed by a magistrates’ courts committee before the commencement of this section as justices’ clerk for a petty sessions area so long as he— (a) continues to hold office as a justices’ clerk for that area or for any one or more petty sessions areas including any part of that area, and (b) has not entered into a contract of service after the commencement of this section. (3) Any justices’ clerk in relation to whom, by virtue of subsection (2) above, subsection (1) above does not have effect shall hold office during the pleasure of the magistrates’ courts committee concerned.

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.
