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.
Change 1
As published
I1 Offence of breach of respect order
(1) It is an offence for a person without reasonable excuse—
(a) to do anything the person is prohibited from doing by a respect order, or
(b) to fail to do anything the person is required to do by a respect order.
(2) Subsection (1)(b) does not apply in relation to a failure to comply with an activity requirement unless, within the period of 12 months ending with the date of the failure, the person has been given a warning under section H1 in relation to that requirement.
(3) A person who commits an offence under this section is liable—
(a) on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding the general limit in a magistrates’ court or a fine (or both);
(b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 2 years or a fine (or both).

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.
