Sea Fisheries (Scotland) Amendment Act 1885
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.

5 Steam trawlers fishing off Scotland to have letters and numbers painted on the quarter.
Every British sea fishing boat propelled by steam, fishing in the Scottish zone , shall, in addition to having the number and letters painted on the bow in manner provided by the Sea Fisheries Act 1883, have the initial letter or letters of the port to which it belongs, and the registry number in the series of numbers for that port, painted in white oil-colour on a black ground, on the funnel twelve inches from the top, and on the quarter three or four inches below the gunwale, and so as to be clearly visible, of the dimensions prescribed for the letters and numbers on the bow by the regulations in force for the time being for the lettering, numbering, and registering of British sea-fishing boats under the Sea Fisheries Acts or any Act amending the same. This section shall be enforced in the same manner as if it were contained in such regulations. It shall be the duty of the Scottish Ministers to enforce the provisions of the Sea Fisheries Acts, and of any Orders in Council following thereon, with respect to the numbering and lettering of fishing boats by directing their officers being sea fishery officers to use the powers in that behalf conferred upon sea fishery officers by the said Acts and Orders in Council.

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.
