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.

As published
167 Powers of court on repeat applications
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a court makes an exploitation proceeds order (“the earlier order”) in respect of a person, and
(b) an application (“the later application”) is then made to the court for another exploitation proceeds order in respect of the same person.
(2) The court may, for the purposes of the later application, adopt any finding of fact made by the court in connection with the earlier order.
(3) Subsection (4) applies where, on the later application, the court is satisfied as mentioned in section 155(1).
(4) If, or to the extent that, the earlier order was in respect of benefits derived from the same source as the benefits to which the later application relates, the court must when making a determination under section 162 in relation to the later application, have regard to any determination made by it under that section in connection with the earlier order.
(5) For the purposes of subsection (4) benefits are from the same source if they consist of benefits derived by the respondent from (or from steps taken or to be taken with a view to) the same exploitation of material related to the same relevant offence.

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.
