Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1996 (repealed)
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
37 Prohibition on provision of security services without a certificate.
(1) A person shall not provide, or offer to provide, security services for reward, unless he is, or is acting on behalf of, the holder of a certificate in force under this Part of this Act. (2) A person shall not publish, or cause to be published, any advertisement for the provision of such services by a person who is not the holder of such a certificate. (3) Any person who contravenes subsection (1) or (2) is guilty of an offence and liable— (a) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or a fine or both; (b) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or both. (4) Where a person is charged with an offence under this section in respect of an advertisement it shall be a defence for him to prove— (a) that he is a person whose business it is to publish or arrange for the publication of advertisements; and (b) that he received the advertisement for publication in the ordinary course of business; and (c) that he had reasonable grounds for believing that the person advertised as the provider of the security services in question was the holder of a certificate in force under this Part of this Act. (5) In this Part of this Act “security services” means the services of one or more individuals as security guards (whether with or without any other services relating to the protection of property or persons).

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.
