Mines And Quarries (Tips) Act 1969
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
12 Information relating to disused tips.
(1) For the purpose of enabling a local authority to assess whether a disused tip which is situated wholly or partly within its area is stable and whether any instability of the tip is or is likely to constitute a danger to members of the public, the local authority may, by notice served on the owner of the tip or on any other person who the authority has reason to believe may be able to assist it, require him, within such time, not being less than fourteen days, as may be specified in the notice, to produce to the authority such documents in his possession or control (whether in the form of maps, surveys, plans, records of work or otherwise and whether relating to the tip itself or the land on which it is situated) as may be so specified. (2) Any person who without reasonable excuse fails to comply with a notice under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale, and any person who, in pursuance of such a notice— (a) with intent to deceive, produces any document or gives any information which is false in a material particular, or, (b) knowingly or recklessly makes a statement which is false in a material particular, shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £400, or, on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine or to both.

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.
