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.

As published

(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, compensation under this Act shall not be payable in respect of a new improvement specified in Part 11 of the First Schedule to this Act if, within one month after receiving notice under subsection (1) of the last foregoing section from the tenant of his intention to carry out the improvement, the landlord gives notice in writing to the tenant that he objects to the carrying out of the improvement or to the manner in which the tenant proposes to carry it out.
(2) Where notice of objection has been given as aforesaid, the tenant may . . . apply to the Secretary of State for approval of the carrying out of the improvement, and on any such application the Secretary of State may . . . approve the carrying out of the improvement either unconditionally or upon such terms, whether as to reduction of the compensation which would be payable if the Secretary of State approved unconditionally or as to other matters, as appear to the Secretary of State to be just, or may withhold his approval . . .

(4) Where the Secretary of State grants his approval, then if either—
(a) no notice is served by the landlord under the last foregoing subsection, or
(b) such a notice is served but, on an application made by the tenant in that behalf, the Secretary of State, . . . determines that the landlord has failed to carry out the improvement within a reasonable time,
the tenant may carry out the improvement and shall be entitled to compensation under this Act in respect thereof as if notice of objection had not been given by the landlord, and any terms subject to which the approval was given shall have effect as if they were contained in an agreement in writing between the landlord and the tenant.

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.
