Weeds Act 1959
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
1 Power to require occupier to prevent spreading of injurious weeds.
(1) Where the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (in this Act referred to as “the Minister”) is satisfied that there are injurious weeds to which this Act applies growing upon any land he may serve upon the occupier of the land a notice in writing requiring him, within the time specified in the notice, to take such action as may be necessary to prevent the weeds from spreading. (2) This Act applies to the following injurious weeds, that is to say— spear thistle (cirsium vulgare), (Savi) Ten. creeping or field thistle (cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.), curled dock (rumex crispus L.), broad-leaved dock (rumex obtusifolius L.), and ragwort (senecio jacobaea L.); and to such additional injurious weeds as may be prescribed by the Minister by regulations.

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.
