Wales Act 2017
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
50 Water protocol
(1) The Welsh Ministers and the Secretary of State may make an agreement (the ““water protocol””) for the purpose of ensuring that— (a) actions or inaction of the Welsh Ministers, or public bodies exercising functions in Wales, do not have a serious adverse impact on water resources in England, water supply in England or the quality of water in England, and (b) actions or inaction of the Secretary of State, or public bodies exercising functions in England, do not have a serious adverse impact on water resources in Wales, water supply in Wales or the quality of water in Wales. (2) The water protocol must— (a) provide for a procedure for resolving matters of disagreement between the Welsh Ministers and the Secretary of State; (b) make provision about whether, or to what extent, functions relating to such matters may be exercised pending the outcome of the procedure. (3) The water protocol may be revised by agreement of the Welsh Ministers and the Secretary of State. (4) The water protocol, and any revised protocol, must be laid before both Houses of Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales.

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.
