Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023
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
17 Change of name
(1) A CCA may, by a resolution in relation to which the requirements mentioned in subsection (2) are met, change the name by which it is known. (2) The requirements are— (a) that the resolution is considered at a meeting of the CCA which is specially convened for the purpose, (b) that particulars of the resolution were included in the notice of the meeting, and (c) that the resolution is passed at the meeting by not less than two-thirds of the members of the CCA who vote on it. (3) A CCA which changes its name under this section must— (a) send notice of the change to the Secretary of State, and (b) publish the notice in such manner as the Secretary of State may direct. (4) A change of name under this section does not affect the rights or obligations of the CCA concerned or any other person, or render defective any legal proceedings; and any legal proceedings may be commenced or continued as if there had been no change of name.

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.
