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.

14 Notification for a decision.
(1) A party to an agreement who applies for the agreement to be examined under this section must—
(a) notify the OFT of the agreement; and
(b) apply to the OFT for a decision.
(2) On an application under this section, the OFT may make a decision as to—
(a) whether the Chapter I prohibition has been infringed; and
(b) if it has not been infringed, whether that is because of the effect of an exclusion or because the agreement is exempt from the prohibition.
(3) If an agreement is notified to the OFT under this section, the application may include a request for the agreement to which it relates to be granted an individual exemption.
(4) If an agreement to which the prohibition applies has been notified to the OFT under this section, no penalty is to be imposed under this Part in respect of any infringement of the prohibition by the agreement which occurs during the period—
(a) beginning with the date on which notification was given; and
(b) ending with such date as may be specified in a notice in writing given to the applicant by the OFT when the application has been determined.

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.
