Race Relations Act 1976 (Repealed)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
71 Specified authorities: general statutory duty.
(1) Every body or other person specified in Schedule 1A or of a description falling within that Schedule shall, in carrying out its functions, have due regard to the need— (a) to eliminate unlawful discrimination and victimisation; and (b) to promote equality of opportunity and good relations between persons of different racial groups. (2) The Secretary of State may by order impose, on such persons falling within Schedule 1A as he considers appropriate, such duties as he considers appropriate for the purpose of ensuring the better performance by those persons of their duties under subsection (1). (3) An order under subsection (2)— (a) may be made in relation to a particular person falling within Schedule 1A, any description of persons falling within that Schedule or every person falling within that Schedule; (b) may make different provision for different purposes. (4) Before making an order under subsection (2), the Secretary of State shall consult the Commission. (5) The Secretary of State may by order amend Schedule 1A; but no such order may extend the application of this section unless the Secretary of State considers that the extension relates to a person who exercises functions of a public nature. (6) An order under subsection (2) or (5) may contain such incidental, supplementary or consequential provision as the Secretary of State considers appropriate (including provision amending or repealing provision made by or under this Act or any other enactment). (7) This section is subject to section 71A and 71B and is without prejudice to the obligation of any person to comply with any provision of the Equality Act 2010 (“the 2010 Act”), so far as relating to race (within the meaning of that Act). (8) In this section— (a) “discrimination” means race discrimination within the meaning of section 25 of the 2010 Act; (b) “victimisation” means victimisation within the meaning of section 27 of the 2010 Act, where the protected act in question relates to race, and (c) “racial group” has the meaning given in section 9 of the 2010 Act.

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.
