Gas Act 1986
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.

37 Maximum prices for reselling gas.
(1) The Director may from time to time direct that the maximum prices at which gas supplied by authorised suppliers may be resold— (a) shall be such as may be specified in the direction; or (b) shall be calculated by such method and by reference to such matters as may be so specified, and shall publish directions under this section in such manner as in his opinion will secure adequate publicity for them. (2) A direction under this section may— (a) require any person who resells gas supplied by a an authorised supplier to furnish the purchaser with such information as may be specified or described in the direction; and (b) provide that, in the event of his failing to do so, the maximum price applicable to the resale shall be such as may be specified in the direction, or shall be reduced by such amount or such percentage as may be so specified. (3) Different directions may be given under this section as respects different classes of cases, which may be defined by reference to areas or any other relevant circumstances. (4) If any person resells any gas supplied by a an authorised supplier at a price exceeding the maximum price determined by or under a direction under this section and applicable to the resale— (a) the amount of the excess; and (b) if the direction so provides, interest on that amount at a rate specified or described in the direction, shall be recoverable by the purchaser. (5) Nothing in this section shall apply in relation to the resale of gas for use in a motor vehicle which is constructed or adapted to use gas as fuel for its propulsion.

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.
