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
19 Powers of examination etc
(1) This section applies where a police or customs officer is exercising a power of search conferred by section 15, 16 or 17 in relation to any premises. (2) The officer may carry out any examination or measurement of anything on the premises that the officer thinks is or may be relevant evidence. (3) The officer may break open any container or other locked thing if satisfied that it is necessary to do so for the purpose of— (a) determining whether a relevant offence has been committed, or (b) investigating a relevant offence. (4) The officer may require any person on the premises to provide any help or facilities, with respect to matters under the person's control, that the officer considers would facilitate the exercise of— (a) a power of search conferred on the officer by section 15, 16 or 17, or (b) a power conferred on the officer by this section. (5) Nothing in this section confers any power to search a person.

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.
