Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing 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.

As published
66 Challenging the validity of orders
(1) An interested person may apply to the High Court to question the validity of—
(a) a public spaces protection order or an expedited order, or
(b) a variation of a public spaces protection order or an expedited order.
“Interested person” means an individual who lives in the restricted area or who regularly works in or visits that area.
(2) The grounds on which an application under this section may be made are—
(a) that the local authority did not have power to make the order or variation, or to include particular prohibitions or requirements imposed by the order (or by the order as varied);
(b) that a requirement under this Chapter was not complied with in relation to the order or variation.
(3) An application under this section must be made within the period of 6 weeks beginning with the date on which the order or variation is made.
(4) On an application under this section the High Court may by order suspend the operation of the order or variation, or any of the prohibitions or requirements imposed by the order (or by the order as varied), until the final determination of the proceedings.
(5) If on an application under this section the High Court is satisfied that—
(a) the local authority did not have power to make the order or variation, or to include particular prohibitions or requirements imposed by the order (or by the order as varied), or
(b) the interests of the applicant have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with a requirement under this Chapter,
the Court may quash the order or variation, or any of the prohibitions or requirements imposed by the order (or by the order as varied).
(6) A public spaces protection order or an expedited order, or any of the prohibitions or requirements imposed by the order (or by the order as varied), may be suspended under subsection (4) or quashed under subsection (5)—
(a) generally, or
(b) so far as necessary for the protection of the interests of the applicant.
(7) An interested person may not challenge the validity of a public spaces protection order or an expedited order, or of a variation of such an order, in any legal proceedings (either before or after it is made) except—
(a) under this section, or
(b) under subsection (3) of section 67 (where the interested person is charged with an offence under that section).

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.
