Ivory Act 2018
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
14 Power to stop and search persons
(1) This section applies where a police or customs officer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a person has committed, or is committing, a relevant offence. (2) The officer may— (a) search the person for relevant evidence; (b) stop and detain the person for the purposes of the search. (3) The powers conferred by this section may be exercised in any place to which the officer lawfully has access (whether or not it is a place to which the public has access). (4) In this Act— “police or customs officer” means— a constable, a designated customs official, or a designated NCA officer authorised by the Director General of the National Crime Agency (whether generally or specifically) to exercise the powers of a police or customs officer under this Act; “relevant evidence” means evidence that a relevant offence has been committed; “relevant offence” means— an offence in connection with an exemption certificate or with registration under section 10, or an offence under section 12.

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.
