British Museum Act 1963
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
FIRST SCHEDULE Tenure of Office and Proceedings of Trustees
Sections 1 and 8. 1 Each trustee shall hold office for such period as is specified in the instrument by which he is appointed, but that period shall not exceed ten years, or five years in the case of a person whose appointment takes effect at or within twelve months after the end of any period for which he was previously appointed a trustee of the Museum under this Act. 2 A trustee may resign his office by notice in writing served on the person or body who appointed him. 3 The functions of the Trustees may be exercised notwithstanding vacancies in their number. 4 The quorum at meetings of the Trustees shall be six. 5 The Trustees may make rules for regulating their proceedings and for other matters relevant to the exercise of their functions.

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.
