Banking Act 1987 (repealed)
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
51 The Deposit Protection Fund.
(1) The Fund shall consist of— (a) any money which forms part of the Fund when this section comes into force; (b) initial, further and special contributions levied by the Board under this Part of this Act; (c) money borrowed by the Board under this Part of this Act; and (d) any other money required by any provision of this Part of this Act to be credited to the Fund or received by the Board and directed by it to be so credited. (2) The money constituting the Fund shall be placed by the Board in an account with the Bank. (3) As far as possible, the Bank shall invest money placed with it under subsection (2) above in Treasury bills; and any income from money so invested shall be credited to the Fund. (3A) In subsection (3) above, the reference to Treasury bills includes a reference to bills and other short-term instruments issued by the government of another EEA State and appearing to the Bank to correspond as nearly as may be to Treasury bills. (4) There shall be chargeable to the Fund— (a) repayments of special contributions under section 55(2) below; (b) payments under section 58 below; (c) money required for the repayment of, and the payment of interest on, money borrowed by the Board; and (d) the administrative and other necessary or incidental expenses incurred by the Board.

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.
