The Supreme Court Rules 2024
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
42 Publication and disposal of documents
(1) All documents filed become the property of the Court and may be inspected by the media or members of the public on application to the Registrar but the Registrar may refuse an application for reasons of commercial confidentiality or national security or in the public interest. (2) In each appeal or reference to the Court, the published documents will be made available to the public via the Court’s website. (3) A party who objects to the publication on the website of all or part of any published document must apply to the Registrar as soon as possible and, in any event, not later than 42 days before the hearing for a direction that the document should not be published or that it should be published subject to redactions proposed in a copy of the relevant document attached to the application. (4) The Registrar will decide whether the proposed withholding or redactions are necessary for reasons of commercial confidentiality, national security or otherwise in the public interest. (5) Subject to the determination of any application made under paragraph (3) the published documents will be placed on the Court’s website not later than 7 days before the hearing. (6) In this rule, “the published documents” are— (a) in relation to an appeal, the statement of facts and issues and the parties’ written cases exchanged under rule 27(3); (b) in relation to a reference under rules 44, 46 and 48, the documents corresponding to those in paragraph (a). (7) Any hard copy documents provided to the Court may be destroyed following the disposal of the appeal unless the Registrar (on a written application made within 21 days of the end of the proceedings) directs otherwise.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
