Probation Service Act 1993 (repealed)
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
14 General functions of probation officers.
It is the duty of probation officers— (a) to supervise the probationers and other persons placed under their supervision and to advise, assist and befriend them; (b) with a view to assisting the court in determining the most suitable method of dealing with a person’s case, to inquire (in accordance with any directions of the court) into, and make reports on, his circumstances or home surroundings; (c) to advise, assist and befriend, in such cases and in such manner as may be prescribed, persons who have been released from custody; and (d) to perform such other duties as may be prescribed.

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.
