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.

What to do with it
As published

18 Training, qualifications and medical fitness

(1) Regulations (referred to in this Act as “training regulations”) may make provision with respect to the training, qualifications and medical fitness of individuals— (a) taking part in, or otherwise engaged in connection with, spaceflight activities or the provision of range control services, or (b) working at sites used for or in connection with spaceflight activities or the provision of range control services. (2) Schedule 2 gives examples of particular kinds of provision that may be made by training regulations. That Schedule does not limit subsection (1). (3) The regulator may issue guidance about how a person carrying out spaceflight activities, operating a spaceport or providing range control services may comply with requirements imposed by training regulations. (4) The holder of a licence under this Act must not allow an unqualified individual— (a) to take part in, or to be otherwise engaged in connection with, activities authorised by the licence, or providing services the provision of which is authorised by the licence, in a specified role or capacity; (b) to work in a specified role or capacity at a site used for or in connection with the activities or services to which the licence relates. An individual is “unqualified” for the purposes of this subsection if he or she does not fulfil specified criteria with respect to training, qualifications and medical fitness. (5) In subsection (4) “specified” means specified in training regulations. (6) It is an offence for the holder of a licence under this Act to contravene subsection (4). (7) An individual commits an offence if— (a) a person commits the offence in subsection (6), and (b) the person's commission of that offence is due to an act or default of the individual. The individual is liable to be proceeded against and dealt with accordingly. (8) For the purposes of subsection (7) it does not matter whether or not proceedings are taken against the person committing the offence in subsection (6).

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.
