Electronic Trade Documents Act 2023
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
5 Exceptions
(1) If an intention that section 3 should not apply in relation to an electronic trade document appears in, or can reasonably be inferred from, the document or terms that have effect in relation to the document— (a) that section does not apply in relation to the document, and (b) section 4 also does not apply in relation to it. (2) Sections 1 to 4 do not apply in relation to— (a) an uncertificated unit of a security that is transferable by means of a relevant system in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3755), or (b) a document or instrument of a type specified in regulations made by the appropriate authority. (3) The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section so as to amend or remove the exception conferred by subsection (2)(a). (4) The Secretary of State must consult the Scottish Ministers before making regulations under subsection (2)(b) that contain provision that is to have effect in relation to Scotland. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply if the regulations are to be made by the Secretary of State and the Scottish Ministers acting jointly. (6) Regulations under this section may include incidental, consequential, transitional or saving provision. (7) “The appropriate authority”, in relation to regulations under subsection (2)(b), means— (a) in any case, the Secretary of State or the Secretary of State and the Scottish Ministers acting jointly; (b) in a case in which all of the provision made by the regulations is within Scottish devolved competence, the Scottish Ministers. (8) Provision is within Scottish devolved competence if it is provision which would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if contained in an Act of that Parliament.

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.
