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.

(2) Subject to paragraphs (3) to (5), the amount of the affected autonomy award is— (a) £16,000, where Q is a partner of P; (b) £6,600, where Q is— (i) a parent of P, and P is aged 17 or under during the first year of infection; (ii) a child of P, and Q is aged 17 or under during the first year of infection; (c) £0, where Q is— (i) a parent of P, and P is aged 18 or over during the first year of infection; (ii) a child of P, and Q is aged 18 or over during the first year of infection; (iii) a sibling of P; (iv) an unremunerated carer of P.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
