Marriage Act 1949
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
5A Marriages between certain persons related by affinity.
No clergyman shall be obliged— (a) to solemnize a marriage which, apart from the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees of Relationship) Act 1986 or the Marriage Act 1949 (Remedial) Order 2007, would have been void by reason of the relationship of the persons to be married; or (b) to permit such a marriage to be solemnized in the church or chapel of which he is the minister.

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.
