High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Act 2017
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
44 Transfer of functions relating to works
(1) If for the purposes of this Act the Secretary of State acquires any land from a railway operator on which works authorised by any enactment are situated, the Secretary of State may by order provide for the transfer to the Secretary of State or the nominated undertaker of any power or duty which— (a) was previously exercisable by the railway operator, and (b) was conferred under an enactment. (2) The Secretary of State may by order provide for the further transfer, to the Secretary of State or the nominated undertaker, of a power or duty transferred under subsection (1) or this subsection. (3) If a railway operator acquires any land from the Secretary of State on which works authorised by this Act are situated, the Secretary of State may, with the consent of the railway operator, by order provide for the transfer to the railway operator of any duty under this Act relating to the works. (4) An order under this section may contain such supplementary, incidental, consequential or transitional provision as the Secretary of State considers necessary or expedient in connection with the order. (5) In subsections (1) and (3), references to a railway operator are to a person who has the management for the time being of any network, station or light maintenance depot. (6) In this section “"light maintenance depot””, “"network”” and “"station”” have the same meanings as in Part 1 of the Railways Act 1993.

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.
