Modern Slavery Act 2015
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
17 Effect of slavery and trafficking prevention orders
(1) A slavery and trafficking prevention order is an order prohibiting the defendant from doing anything described in the order. (2) The only prohibitions that may be included in the order are those which the court is satisfied are necessary for the purpose of protecting persons generally, or particular persons, from the physical or psychological harm which would be likely to occur if the defendant committed a slavery or human trafficking offence. (3) The order may prohibit the defendant from doing things in any part of the United Kingdom, and anywhere outside the United Kingdom. (4) Subject to section 18(1), a prohibition contained in a slavery and trafficking prevention order has effect— (a) for a fixed period, specified in the order, of at least 5 years, or (b) until further order. (5) A slavery and trafficking prevention order— (a) may specify that some of its prohibitions have effect until further order and some for a fixed period; (b) may specify different periods for different prohibitions. (6) If a court makes a slavery and trafficking prevention order in relation to a person who is already subject to such an order (whether made by that court or another), the earlier order ceases to have effect.

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.
