Nuclear Material (Offences) Act 1983
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
1B Offences relating to damage to environment
(1) If a person, whatever his nationality, in the United Kingdom or elsewhere contravenes subsection (2) or (3) he is guilty of an offence. (2) A person contravenes this subsection if without lawful authority— (a) he receives, holds or deals with nuclear material, and (b) he does so either— (i) intending to cause, or for the purpose of enabling another to cause, damage to the environment by means of that material, or (ii) being reckless as to whether, as a result of his so receiving, holding or dealing with that material, damage would be caused to the environment by means of that material. (3) A person contravenes this subsection if without lawful authority— (a) he does an act directed at a nuclear facility, or which interferes with the operation of such a facility, and (b) he does so either— (i) intending to cause, or for the purpose of enabling another to cause, damage to the environment by means of the emission of ionising radiation or the release of radioactive material, or (ii) being reckless as to whether, as a result of his act, damage would be caused to the environment by means of such an emission or release. (4) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for life.

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.
