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
7 Whether jury required
(1) An inquest into a death must be held without a jury unless subsection (2) or (3) applies.
(2) An inquest into a death must be held with a jury if the senior coroner has reason to suspect—

(i) the death was a violent or unnatural one, or
(ii) the cause of death is unknown,
(b) that the death resulted from an act or omission of—
(i) a police officer, or

in the purported execution of the officer's or member's duty as such, or
(c) that the death was caused by a notifiable accident, poisoning or disease.
(3) An inquest into a death may be held with a jury if the senior coroner thinks that there is sufficient reason for doing so.

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.
