Pensions Act 2008
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.

8 Jobholder's right to opt out
(1) This section applies on any occasion when arrangements under section 3(2), 5(2) or 7(3) apply to a jobholder (arrangements for the jobholder to become an active member of an automatic enrolment scheme). (2) If the jobholder gives notice under this section— (a) the jobholder is to be treated for all purposes as not having become an active member of the scheme on that occasion; (b) any contributions paid by the jobholder, or by the employer on behalf or in respect of the jobholder, on the basis that the jobholder has become an active member of the scheme on that occasion must be refunded in accordance with prescribed requirements. (3) Regulations under subsection (2)(b) may, in particular, make provision about— (a) the time within which contributions must be refunded; (b) how the amount to be refunded is calculated; (c) the procedure for refunding contributions. (4) The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision in relation to notices under this section. (5) The regulations may in particular make provision— (a) as to the form and content of a notice; (b) as to the period within which a notice must be given; (c) as to the person to whom a notice must be given; (d) requiring any person to make prescribed arrangements for enabling notices to be given; (e) requiring any person to take prescribed action in consequence of a notice (in addition to any action prescribed under subsection (2)(b)). (6) The regulations must provide for the notice— (a) to include information about the effect in relation to jobholders of giving notice under this section, and (b) to be signed or otherwise authorised by the jobholder.

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.
