Utilities Act 2000
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
65 Alternative way of discharging renewables obligation: payments.
After section 32B of the 1989 Act there is inserted— Payment as alternative to complying with order under section 32. 32C (1) An order under section 32 may provide that instead of producing evidence under section 32(3), an electricity supplier may discharge (in whole or in part) its renewables obligation (or its obligation in relation to a particular period) by making a payment to the Authority. (2) The order may make provision— (a) as to the sum which for the purposes of subsection (1) is to correspond to the supply of a given amount of electricity; (b) for different such sums in relation to different periods; (c) for different such sums in relation to electricity generated in different ways specified in the order (such as those referred to in section 32A(1)(b) and (c)); and (d) for any such sum to be adjusted from time to time for inflation by a method specified in the order (which may refer to a specified scale or index or to other specified data of any description, including such a scale or index or such data in a form not current when the order was made, but in a subsequent form attributable to revision or any other cause and taking effect afterwards). (3) The Authority must pay the amounts received to electricity suppliers in accordance with a system of allocation specified in the order. (4) The system of allocation specified in the order may provide for payments to specified categories of electricity supplier only.

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.
