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.

ANNEX IX
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR HAND SIGNALS 1. Features Hand signals must be precise, simple, expansive, easy to make and to understand, and clearly distinct from other such signals. Where both arms are used at the same time, they must be moved symmetrically and for giving one sign only. Provided that they fulfil the conditions given above, the signals used may vary slightly from or be more detailed than those shown in section 3; they must, however, be equally meaningful and comprehensible. 2. Specific rules governing use 2.1. The person giving the signs, hereinafter referred to as the ‘signalman’, will use arm/hand movements to give manoeuvring instructions to the person receiving the signs, hereinafter referred to as the (operator). 2.2. The signalman must be able to monitor all manoeuvres visually without being endangered thereby. 2.3. The signalman’s duties must consist exclusively of directing manoeuvres and ensuring the safety of workers in the vicinity. 2.4. If the conditions described in point 2.2 are not fulfilled, one or more extra singnalmen should be deployed. 2.5. The operator must interrupt the ongoing manoeuvre in order to request new instructions when he is unable to carry out the orders he has received with the necessary safety guarantees. 2.6. Accessories:The operator must be able to recognize the signalman without difficulty. The signalman is to wear one or more appropriate distinctive items, e.g. a jacket, helmet, sleeves or armbandds, or carry bats. The distinctive items are to be brightly coloured, preferably all of the same colour and for the exclusive use of signalmen. 3. Coded signals to be used Preliminary remark: The following set of coded signals are without prejudice to other codes applicable at Community level, used for the same manoeuvres in certain sectors: Meaning Description Illustration A.

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.
