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.

20 Amount of compensation for tenant’s improvement not consisting of planning permission.
(1) Subject to subsection (4A) below,The amount of compensation payable to the tenant under section 16 of this Act in respect of any tenant’s improvement shall be an amount equal to the increase attributable to the improvement in the value of the holding at the termination of the tenancy as land comprised in a tenancy. (2) Where the landlord and the tenant have entered into an agreement in writing whereby any benefit is given or allowed to the tenant in consideration of the provision of a tenant’s improvement, the amount of compensation otherwise payable in respect of that improvement shall be reduced by the proportion which the value of the benefit bears to the amount of the total cost of providing the improvement. (3) Where a grant has been or will be made to the tenant out of public money in respect of a tenant’s improvement, the amount of compensation otherwise payable in respect of that improvement shall be reduced by the proportion which the amount of the grant bears to the amount of the total cost of providing the improvement. (4) Where a physical improvement which has been completed or a change of use which has been effected is authorised by any planning permission granted on an application made by the tenant, section 18 of this Act does not prevent any value attributable to the fact that the physical improvement or change of use is so authorised from being taken into account under this section in determining the amount of compensation payable in respect of the physical improvement or in respect of any intangible advantage obtained as a result of the change of use. (4A) Where the landlord and the tenant have agreed in writing, after the commencement of this subsection, to limit the amount of compensation payable under section 16 of this Act in respect of any tenant’s improvement, that amount shall be the lesser of— (a) the amount determined in accordance with subsections (1) to (4) above, and (b) the compensation limit. (4B) In subsection (4A) above, “the compensation limit” means— (a) an amount agreed by the parties in writing, or (b) where the parties are unable to agree on an amount, an amount equal to the cost to the tenant of making the improvement. (5) This section does not apply where the tenant’s improvement consists of planning permission.

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.
