Finance Act 1983
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
9 Miscellaneous customs and excise repeals.
(1) Subsection (5) of section 30 of the Licensing Act 1964 (duty of clerk to licensing justices to supply to Collector of Customs and Excise a list of new licences granted and licences not renewed) and section 22 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 (which makes corresponding provision for Scotland) shall cease to have effect. (2) Paragraph 1 of Schedule 7 to the Finance Act 1969 (definition of “whisky” or “whiskey” for customs and excise purposes) and section 92(7) of the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979 (saving in relation to spirits distilled before 1st August 1969) shall cease to have effect on the appointed day. (3) In subsection (2) above, “the appointed day” means such day as the Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument appoint; but the Treasury may not so appoint a day unless they are satisfied that on that day there will be in force as part of the law of each part of the United Kingdom a definition given by or under any enactment of the expressions “whisky” and “whiskey”.

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.
