Greater London Authority (Referendum) Act 1998
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
8 Preparation and submission of report.
(1) A direction to submit a report under section 7(1) shall specify the timetable in accordance with which the report is to be prepared, submitted and available for inspection under this Part (“the timetable”).

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.
