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
82F Damage to, or changes in, the works: emergency safety notices
(1) This section applies in any case where—
(a) the Secretary of State has given consent (“the relevant consent”) for an authorised exploration or exploitation operation, and
(b) at any time after the giving of that consent, the condition in subsection (2) is met.
(2) The condition is that it appears to the Secretary of State that any danger to navigation has arisen by reason of—
(a) any substantial damage to any works to which the relevant consent relates, or
(b) any other substantial and unforeseen change in the state or position of any such works.
(3) If it appears to the Secretary of State necessary to do so in the interests of the safety of navigation, the Secretary of State may serve a notice (an “emergency safety notice”) on the consent holder.
(4) By serving an emergency safety notice on the consent holder, the Secretary of State imposes on the consent holder such requirements as are prescribed in the notice with respect to any of the matters specified in subsection (5).
(5) Those matters are—
(a) the provision on, or in the vicinity of, the works in question of any lights, signals or other aids to navigation, and
(b) the stationing of guard ships in the vicinity of those works.
(6) An emergency safety notice may be served by the Secretary of State whether or not—
(a) the operation in question has been completed, or

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.
