Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012
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
37 Status of Director and Lord Chancellor
(1) The Director is to carry out the functions of the office on behalf of the Crown. (2) Service as the Director is service in the civil service of the State. (3) The Lord Chancellor is to be treated as a corporation sole— (a) for all purposes relating to the acquisition, holding, management and disposal of property and interests in property under this Part, and (b) for all other purposes relating to the Lord Chancellor's functions in connection with legal aid and other functions under this Part. (4) An instrument in connection with the acquisition, holding, management or disposal by the Lord Chancellor of property or an interest in property under this Part or for a purpose mentioned in subsection (3)(b) may be executed on the Lord Chancellor's behalf by a person authorised by the Lord Chancellor for that purpose. (5) Any such instrument purporting to have been executed by the Lord Chancellor or on the Lord Chancellor's behalf is to be received in evidence and, unless the contrary is proved, to be treated as having been so executed.

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.
