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
As published
63 Compensation not to be payable for things done in compliance with this Act.
(1) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Act or any custom or agreement—
(a) no compensation shall be payable to the tenant of an agricultural holding in respect of anything done in pursuance of an order under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section nine of this Act;
(b) in assessing compensation to an outgoing tenant of an agricultural holding where land has been ploughed up in pursuance of a direction under that section, the value per hectare of any tenant’s pasture comprised in the holding shall be taken not to exceed the average value per hectare of the whole of the tenant’s pasture comprised in the holding on the termination of the tenancy.
In this subsection the expression “tenant’s pasture” means pasture laid down at the expense of the tenant or paid for by the tenant on entering the holding.
(2) The tenant of an agricultural holding shall not be entitled to any compensation for an old improvement specified in Part III of the Second Schedule to this Act or in Part III of the Third Schedule thereto or a new improvement specified in Part III of the First Schedule thereto, being an improvement carried out for the purposes of the proviso to subsection (1) of section thirty-five of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act, 1923, or of the proviso to subsection (1) of section twelve of this 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.
