Mesothelioma Act 2014
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
10 Power of scheme administrator to help people bring proceedings
(1) Where a payment is made under the scheme, the scheme administrator may help a person to bring relevant proceedings (for example by conducting proceedings or by giving advice or financial help). (2) “Relevant proceedings” means— (a) proceedings by the person with diffuse mesothelioma against— (i) an employer for the negligence or breach of statutory duty mentioned in section 2(1)(a), or (ii) an insurer with whom the employer maintained insurance covering that liability, (b) proceedings by any other person against the employer or insurer for damages under the fatal accidents legislation in respect of the death of the person with diffuse mesothelioma, or (c) any appeal arising out of proceedings within paragraph (a) or (b). (3) In subsection (2) a reference to a person includes a reference to his or her personal representatives. (4) The scheme may include provision about the scheme administrator's functions under this section, including provision as to the circumstances in which the scheme administrator may help a person to bring proceedings. (5) The Secretary of State may by regulations amend subsection (2) to include other proceedings (which may be proceedings against someone other than an employer or insurer).

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.
