Energy Act 2013
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
49 Power to modify licence conditions etc: market participation and liquidity
(1) The Secretary of State may modify— (a) a condition of a particular licence under section 6(1)(a) or (d) of EA 1989 (generation and supply licences); (b) the standard conditions incorporated in licences under those provisions by virtue of section 8A of that Act; (c) a document maintained in accordance with the conditions of licences under section 6(1)(a) or (d) of that Act, or an agreement that gives effect to a document so maintained. (2) The Secretary of State may exercise the power in subsection (1) only for the following purposes— (a) facilitating participation in the wholesale electricity market in Great Britain, whether by licence holders or others; (b) promoting liquidity in that market. (3) Modifications made by virtue of that power may include— (a) provision imposing obligations in relation to the sale or purchase of electricity, including, in particular, obligations as to— (i) the terms on which electricity is sold or purchased, and (ii) the circumstances or manner in which electricity is sold or purchased; (b) provision imposing restrictions on the sale or purchase of electricity to or from group undertakings; (c) provision imposing obligations in relation to the disclosure or publication of information. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b), electricity is sold to or purchased from a group undertaking if the transaction is between undertakings one of which is a group undertaking in relation to the other. For this purpose, “undertaking” and “group undertaking” have the same meanings as in the Companies Acts (see section 1161 of the Companies Act 2006).

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.
