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
43 Codes of practice: procedure
(1) Before preparing or revising a code, the Lord Chancellor must consult— (a) the National Assembly for Wales, and (b) such other persons as he considers appropriate. (2) The Lord Chancellor may not issue a code unless— (a) a draft of the code has been laid by him before both Houses of Parliament, and (b) the 40 day period has elapsed without either House resolving not to approve the draft. (3) The Lord Chancellor must arrange for any code that he has issued to be published in such a way as he considers appropriate for bringing it to the attention of persons likely to be concerned with its provisions. (4) “40 day period”, in relation to the draft of a proposed code, means— (a) if the draft is laid before one House on a day later than the day on which it is laid before the other House, the period of 40 days beginning with the later of the two days; (b) in any other case, the period of 40 days beginning with the day on which it is laid before each House. (5) In calculating the period of 40 days, no account is to be taken of any period during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses are adjourned for more than 4 days.

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.
