Plant Varieties Act 1997
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
10 Exhaustion of rights.
(1) Plant breeders’ rights shall not extend to any act concerning material of a variety if the material— (a) has been sold or otherwise marketed in the United Kingdom by, or with the consent of, the holder of the rights, or (b) is derived from material which has been so sold or otherwise marketed. (2) Subsection (1) above shall not apply where the act involves— (a) further propagation of the variety, or (b) the export of material which enables propagation of the variety to a non-qualifying country, otherwise than for the purposes of final consumption. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(b) above, a non-qualifying country is one which does not provide for the protection of varieties of the genus or species to which the variety belongs. (4) In this section, “material”, in relation to a variety, means— (a) any kind of propagating material of the variety, (b) harvested material of the variety, including entire plants and parts of plants, and (c) any product made directly from material falling within paragraph (b) above.

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.
