Local Government Finance Act 1988
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 Reduction or remission of liability.
(1) A billing authority may— (a) reduce any amount a person is liable to pay to it under section 43 or 45 above, or (b) remit payment of the whole of any amount a person would otherwise be liable to pay to it under section 43 or 45 above. (2) But an authority may not act under this section unless it is satisfied that— (a) the ratepayer would sustain hardship if the authority did not do so, and (b) it is reasonable for the authority to do so, having regard to the interests of persons liable to pay council tax set by it. (3) The amount as regards which a reduction or remittance may be made under subsection (1) above is the amount the person would be liable to pay (apart from this section) taking account of anything done under section 47 above , the effect of any regulations under section 57A or 58 below, and the effect of any provision of or made under Schedule 7A below. (4) Where an authority acts under this section, section 43 or 45 above shall be construed accordingly as regards the case concerned.

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.
