Serious Crime Act 2015
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
58 Containers
(1) An officer who seizes a substance under section 55 or 56 may also seize any container holding the substance. (2) If a container is seized under this section, reasonable efforts must be made to return it to— (a) the person from whom it was seized, or (b) (if different) a person to whom it belongs. (3) Subsection (2) does not apply— (a) if the container appears to be of negligible value, (b) if it is not practicable for the container to be returned, or (c) while the container is or may be needed for use as evidence at a trial for an offence.

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.
