Food Standards Act 1999
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
35 Devolution in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
(1) For the purposes of— (a) section 23(2)(b) of the Scotland Act 1998 (power of Scottish Parliament to require persons outside Scotland to attend to give evidence or produce documents); and (b) section 70(6) of that Act (accounts prepared by cross-border bodies), the Agency shall be treated as a cross-border public authority (within the meaning of that Act). (2) It is not outside the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, by virtue of the reservation of matters relating to the constitution mentioned in paragraph 1 of Schedule 5 to that Act, to remove, alter or confer relevant functions of the Agency which are exercisable in or as regards Scotland. (3) Nothing in subsection (2) affects any legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament apart from this section.

(5) In this section “relevant functions of the Agency” means functions relating to, or to matters connected with— (a) food safety or other interests of consumers in relation to food; or (b) the safety of animal feedingstuffs or other interests of users of animal feedingstuffs.

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.
