Foster Children Act 1980 (repealed 14.10.1991)
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
22 Interpretation.
In this Act— “child” means a person under the age of 18; “compulsory school age” has the same meaning as in the Education Act 1944; . “local authority” means the council of a non-metropolitan county, metropolitan district or London borough, or the Common Council of the City of London; “local authority in Scotland” means a regional or islands council; “place of safety” means a community home provided by a local authority, a controlled community home, a police station, or any hospital, surgery or other suitable place whose occupier is willing temporarily to receive a child; “relative”, in relation to a child, means a grandparent, brother, sister, uncle or aunt (whether of the full blood or half-blood or by affinity) and includes, where the child is illegitimate, the father of the child and any person who would be a relative within the meaning of this definition if the child were the legitimate child of his mother and father; “voluntary organisation” means a body the activities of which are carried on otherwise than for profit.

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.
