Fisheries Act 2020
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
25 Distribution of fishing opportunities
(1) When distributing catch quotas and effort quotas for use by fishing boats, the national fisheries authorities must use criteria that— (a) are transparent and objective, and (b) include criteria relating to environmental, social and economic factors. (2) The criteria may in particular relate to— (a) the impact of fishing on the environment; (b) the history of compliance with regulatory requirements relating to fishing; (c) the contribution of fishing to the local economy; (d) historic catch levels. (3) When distributing catch quotas and effort quotas for use by fishing boats, the national fisheries authorities must seek to incentivise— (a) the use of selective fishing gear, and (b) the use of fishing techniques that have a reduced impact on the environment (for example that use less energy or cause less damage to habitats). (4) In this section “the national fisheries authorities” means— (a) the Secretary of State, (b) the Marine Management Organisation, (c) the Scottish Ministers, (d) the Welsh Ministers, and (e) the Northern Ireland department.

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.
