Mental Capacity Act 2005
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
34 Loss of capacity during research project
(1) This section applies where a person (“P”)— (a) has consented to take part in a research project begun before the commencement of section 30, but (b) before the conclusion of the project, loses capacity to consent to continue to take part in it. (2) The appropriate authority may by regulations provide that, despite P's loss of capacity, research of a prescribed kind may be carried out on, or in relation to, P if— (a) the project satisfies prescribed requirements, (b) any information or material relating to P which is used in the research is of a prescribed description and was obtained before P's loss of capacity, and (c) the person conducting the project takes in relation to P such steps as may be prescribed for the purpose of protecting him. (3) The regulations may, in particular,— (a) make provision about when, for the purposes of the regulations, a project is to be treated as having begun; (b) include provision similar to any made by section 31, 32 or 33.

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.
