Postal Services Act 2000
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
104A Power to detain packets in respect of unpaid or underpaid postage
(1) A postal operator— (a) may detain any postal packet in respect of which there has been no payment, or an underpayment, for postage, and (b) may impose a surcharge in respect of that non-payment or underpayment. (2) A postal operator may detain the packet until the correct postage and any surcharge have been paid. (3) OFCOM may give a direction to a postal operator— (a) limiting the amount of any surcharge, and (b) limiting the length of time for which a postal packet may be detained under subsection (2) (and, if a direction is given under this paragraph, that subsection has effect subject to the direction). (4) Where a direction is given to an operator limiting the amount of a surcharge, subsection (2) has effect in relation to the operator (in any case where the surcharge would otherwise exceed the amount specified in the direction) as if the surcharge were equal to the amount specified in the direction. (5) Before giving a direction to a postal operator under this section, OFCOM must— (a) inform the operator that they propose to give it a direction, and (b) allow the operator an opportunity to make representations about the proposal.

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.
