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
As published
136 Relevant museums and galleries
(1) In this Part “museum or gallery” means an institution in the United Kingdom approved under this section by the appropriate authority.
(2) The matters that the appropriate authority must have regard to when deciding whether to approve an institution include—
(a) the institution's procedures for establishing the provenance and ownership of objects, and
(b) in particular, compliance by the institution with guidance about such procedures published by the Secretary of State from time to time.
(3) The appropriate authority may withdraw approval from an institution if it thinks fit, and, in particular, if—
(a) it thinks that the institution's procedures for establishing the provenance or ownership of objects are inadequate (because of the institution's failure to comply with guidance published by the Secretary of State or for some other reason), or
(b) the institution has failed to comply with a requirement of regulations under section 134(9).
(4) The withdrawal of approval from an institution does not affect the application of sections 134 and 135 to any object which is a protected object immediately before the withdrawal.
(5) In this section “the appropriate authority” means—
(a) the Secretary of State, in relation to an institution in England,
(b) the Welsh Ministers, in relation to an institution in Wales,
(c) the Scottish Ministers, in relation to an institution in Scotland, and
(d) the Department for Culture, Art and Leisure, in relation to an institution in Northern Ireland.

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.
