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
15 Obligations of person subject to community service order.
(1) An offender in respect of whom a community service order is in force shall—
(a) keep in touch with the relevant officer in accordance with such instructions as he may from time to time be given by that officer and notify him of any change of address;
(b) perform for the number of hours specified in the order such work at such times as he may be instructed by the relevant officer.
(2) Subject to paragraph 15 of Schedule 2 to the Criminal Justice Act 1991, the work required to be performed under a community service order shall be performed during the period of twelve months beginning with the date of the order ; but, unless revoked, the order shall remain in force until the offender has worked under it for the number of hours specified in it.
(3) The instructions given by the relevant officer under this section shall, as far as practicable, be such as to avoid—

(b) any interference with the times, if any, at which he normally works or attends school or any other educational establishment.

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.
