Protection of Badgers Act 1992
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
12A Time limit for bringing summary proceedings
(1) Summary proceedings for an offence under a provision mentioned in subsection (1A) may, subject to subsection (2) below, be brought within a period of 6 months from the date on which evidence sufficient in the opinion of the prosecutor to warrant the proceedings came to the prosecutor’s knowledge. (1A) The provisions referred to in subsection (1) are— (a) section 1(3), (5) and (6) (in relation to an act made unlawful by section 1(3)), (b) section 2(1)(d) and (3) (in relation to an act made unlawful by section 2(1)(d)), (c) section 3, (d) section 4, (e) section 5, (f) section 10(8). (2) No such proceedings may be brought more than 3 years— (a) after the commission of the offence, or (b) in the case of a continuous contravention, after the last date on which the offence was committed. (3) A certificate signed by or on behalf of the prosecutor and stating the date on which such evidence came to the prosecutor’s knowledge is conclusive evidence of that fact; and a certificate stating that matter and purporting to be so signed is to be treated as being so signed unless the contrary is proved.

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.
