Local Government Act 1986
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
11 Allowances payable to members of new authorities.
(1) Section 177 of the Local Government Act 1972 (supplementary provisions as to allowances payable to members of local authorities and other bodies) is amended as follows. (2) In subsection (2) (meaning of “approved duty”: things done as member of certain prescribed bodies), for “paragraphs (b) to (f) of subsection (1) above” (which does not reflect the amendment made to subsection (1) by paragraph 19 of Schedule 14 to the Local Government Act 1985) substitute “paragraphs (ab) to (f) of subsection (1) above”. (3) After that subsection insert— (2A) References in sections 173 and 173A above to a local authority and a councillor include references— (a) to the Inner London Education Authority and a member of the Authority, and (b) to a joint authority and a member of the authority appointed by one of the authority’s constituent councils; and in relation to such a member of a joint authority the references in section 173A(3) to his election shall be construed as references to his appointment. . (4) In subsection (3) (co-opted members of committees to be treated as members of authority) after “For the purposes of sections 173 to 176 above”, insert “(but not for the purposes of subsection (2A) above)”. (5) The reference in section 177(2A) of the Local Government Act 1972 (as inserted by subsection (3) above) to members of the Inner London Education Authority shall be construed, in relation to the period before elected members of the Authority first take office, as a reference to persons who are members of the Authority by virtue of section 18(5) of the Local Government Act 1985 and who are, or immediately before its abolition were, councillors of the Greater London Council. (6) Section 84(2) and (3) of the Local Government Act 1985 (application of local authority provisions to new authorities) apply in relation to this section and the amendments made by this section as if they had been contained in Schedule 14 to that Act as originally enacted. (7) A person who was a member of the Inner London Education Authority or a joint authority at any time before the commencement of this section may within one month of commencement give such notices under section 173A of the Local Government Act 1972 (right to opt for financial loss allowance) as he could have given if the amendments made by this section had come into force on the date on which they are, by virtue of subsection (6), deemed to have come into force and, in the case of a member of the Inner London Education Authority, as if he had been elected to membership of that authority on the date on which he became a member.

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.
