Forestry Act 1967
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.

(2) Compensation under this section shall be recoverable from the appropriate forestry authority on a claim made in the prescribed manner. (3) Claims for compensation in the case of any trees may be made from time to time in respect of deterioration taking place after the refusal of a felling licence for those trees, but— (a) no such claim shall be made in respect of deterioration taking place more than ten years before the date of the claim; and (b) if the trees have been felled, no such claim shall be made after the expiration of one year from the date of the felling. (4) In calculating compensation,— (a) no account shall be taken of deterioration in the quality of the timber which is attributable to neglect of the trees after the refusal of a felling licence for them; and (b) the value of the trees at any time shall be ascertained on the basis of prices current at the date of the claim. (5) If after refusing a felling licence the appropriate forestry authority under section 10(5) above subsequently give notice to the owner of the trees that they are prepared to grant a licence, then in calculating compensation payable in consequence of the previous refusal no account shall be taken of deterioration occurring after the giving of the notice. (6) Any question of disputed compensation shall be determined in accordance with section 31 of this Act.

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.
