Oaths And Evidence (Overseas Authorities And Countries) 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
5 Amendment of 23 & 24 Geo. 5. c. 4.
(1) If Her Majesty in Council is satisfied as respects any country that— (a) there exist in that country public registers kept under the authority of the law of that country and recognised by the courts of that country as authentic records, and (b) that the registers are regularly and properly kept, Her Majesty may by Order in Council make in respect of that country and all or any of those registers such provision as is specified in subsection (2) of section 1 of the Evidence (Foreign, Dominion and Colonial Documents) Act 1933. (2) The foregoing subsection shall have effect in substitution for subsection (1) of the said section 1, and accordingly subsections (1) and (5) of the said section 1 are hereby repealed, in subsection (2) of that section for the words “this section” there shall be substituted “section 5 of the Oaths and Evidence (Overseas Authorities and Countries) Act 1963”, and subsection (4) of that section (interpretation of “country”) shall apply for the interpretation of the foregoing subsection as it applies for the interpretation of the said section 1; but any Order in Council made under the said section 1 and in force at the commencement of this Act shall continue in force until revoked, or as varied, by an Order in Council under this section.

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.
