Water Resources Act 1991
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
92 Requirements to take precautions against pollution.
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision— (a) for prohibiting a person from having custody or control of any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter unless prescribed works and prescribed precautions and other steps have been carried out or taken for the purpose of preventing or controlling the entry of the matter into any controlled waters; (b) for requiring a person who already has custody or control of, or makes use of, any such matter to carry out such works for that purpose and to take such precautions and other steps for that purpose as may be prescribed. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of the power conferred by subsection (1) above, regulations under that subsection may— (a) confer power on the appropriate agency— (i) to determine for the purposes of the regulations the circumstances in which a person is required to carry out works or to take any precautions or other steps; and (ii) by notice to that person, to impose the requirement and to specify or describe the works, precautions or other steps which that person is required to carry out or take; (b) provide for appeals to the Secretary of State against notices served by the appropriate agency in pursuance of provision made by virtue of paragraph (a) above; and (c) provide that a contravention of the regulations shall be an offence the maximum penalties for which shall not exceed the penalties specified in regulation 39(1) of the Environmental Permitting Regulations. (3) This section is subject to section 114 of the 1995 Act (delegation or reference of appeals etc).

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.
