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
8 Expenditure
(1) If an act to which section 5 applies involves expenditure, it is lawful for D— (a) to pledge P's credit for the purpose of the expenditure, and (b) to apply money in P's possession for meeting the expenditure. (2) If the expenditure is borne for P by D, it is lawful for D— (a) to reimburse himself out of money in P's possession, or (b) to be otherwise indemnified by P. (3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not affect any power under which (apart from those subsections) a person— (a) has lawful control of P's money or other property, and (b) has power to spend money for P's benefit.

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.
