Coal Industry Act 1994
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
4F Coal mine discharge: compulsory acquisition of land in Scotland
(1) The Authority may, with the authorisation of the Scottish Ministers, acquire any land anywhere in Scotland compulsorily if the Authority is of the opinion that— (a) the acquisition is for the purpose of preventing, or mitigating the effect of, a discharge of water from a coal mine; and (b) the discharge has caused, is causing or is likely to cause— (i) serious pollution of the water environment; or (ii) danger to life or health. (2) The power to acquire land under subsection (1) above includes power to acquire a servitude or other right in or over land by the creation of a new right. (3) The Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 (c. 42) applies in relation to an acquisition under subsection (1) above as if— (a) this section were contained in an Act in force immediately before the commencement of that Act; and (b) references in that Act to a local authority were references to the Authority.

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.
