The Mines Regulations 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
45 Assessment and control of inhalable and respirable dust in coal mines
(1) This regulation applies below ground in coal mines. (2) The mine operator must carry out a suitable assessment of the risk to the health of persons at work below ground at the mine created by exposure to inhalable dust. (3) The mine operator must ensure that the assessment is— (a) recorded; and (b) reviewed and, where appropriate, revised if there is reason to suspect that there has been a material change in the matters to which it relates. (4) The mine operator must ensure that the exposure to inhalable dust of persons at work below ground at the mine is either prevented or, where that is not reasonably practicable, reduced to as low a level as is reasonably practicable. (5) The mine operator must have in place suitable arrangements for sampling the levels of respirable dust ... to which persons at work are exposed below ground at the mine. (6) If a sample exceeds the action level for respirable dust ..., the mine operator must— (a) determine the reason why the ... action level was exceeded; (b) ensure that appropriate remedial action is taken; and (c) ensure that appropriate further sampling is carried out for the purpose of assessing the effectiveness of any remedial action. (7) The mine operator must ensure that every person who is, or is likely to be, exposed to inhalable dust is placed under suitable health surveillance, unless the exposure is not significant.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
