Land Drainage Act 1991
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.

11 Arrangements between drainage authorities.
(1) The Agencyor the Natural Resources Body for Wales may enter into an agreement with any internal drainage board for the carrying out by the board, on such terms as to payment or otherwise as may be specified in the agreement, of any work in connection with a main river which the Agencyor the Natural Resources Body for Wales is authorised to carry out. (2) Notwithstanding any restriction by reference to a main river of the powers conferred on the appropriate supervisory body by section 165 of the Water Resources Act 1991, the appropriate supervisory body may— (a) with the consent of an internal drainage board, carry out and maintain in that board’s district any works which the board might carry out or maintain, on such terms as to payment or otherwise as may be agreed between the board and the appropriate supervisory body; or (b) agree to contribute to the expense of the carrying out or maintenance of any works by any internal drainage board. (3) An internal drainage board may— (a) with the consent of an internal drainage board for any other district, carry out and maintain in that other district any works which the first-mentioned board might carry out or maintain within their own district, on such terms as to payment or otherwise as may be agreed between the boards; or (b) agree to contribute to the expense of the carrying out or maintenance of any works by the internal drainage board for any other district. (4) Any expense incurred by an internal drainage board under subsection (3) above shall be defrayed as if the expense had been incurred in their own district. (5) Two internal drainage boards may agree that one is to provide administrative, professional or technical services for the other.

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.
