New Towns Act 1981
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
3 Establishment of development corporations for new towns.
(1) The Secretary of State shall by order establish a corporation, in this Act called a development corporation, for the purposes of the development of each new town the site of which is designated under section 1 above . . . (1A) A single development corporation may be established for the purposes of the development of more than one new town in England if the Secretary of State considers that having a single development corporation would facilitate efficient development. (2) A development corporation shall be a body corporate by such name as may be prescribed by the order, and shall consist of— (a) a chairman; (b) a deputy chairman; and (c) at least one other member. (2ZA) In the case of a development corporation established by an order under this section made by the Welsh Ministers— (a) the number of members other than the chairman and deputy chairman must be prescribed by the order, and (b) the prescribed number is not to exceed 11. (2ZB) In the case of a locally-led development corporation, the number of members other than the chairman and deputy chairman must be prescribed by the order. (2A) Before making an order under this section in relation to a site in England, the Secretary of State must consult the following persons— (a) persons who appear to the Secretary of State to represent those living within, or in the vicinity of, the site; (b) persons who appear to the Secretary of State to represent businesses with any premises within, or in the vicinity of, the site; (c) every county or district council for an area which falls wholly or partly within the site; (d) any other person whom the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to consult. (3) Schedule 3 to this Act has effect with respect to the constitution and proceedings of a development corporation. (4) Nothing in this Act (except the express provision relating to stamp duty in section 72(1) below) shall be construed as exempting a development corporation from liability for any tax, duty, rate, levy or other charge whatsoever, whether general or local.

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.
