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
As published
74 Beneficiary previously maintained by deceased
(1) In the case of industrial death benefit, where the deceased at his death was, or would but for the relevant accident have been, making contributions to the beneficiary's maintenance—
(a) the weekly rate of any pension payable to the beneficiary—
(i) as a parent (within the meaning of section 71 above), or
(ii) as a relative prescribed for the purposes of section 72,
shall not exceed the weekly rate of the contributions which the deceased was (or would but for the relevant accident have been) making ; and
(b) the amount of any gratuity payable to the beneficiary as such a parent or relative shall not exceed such multiple of the weekly rate of those contributions as may be determined by or in accordance with regulations ;
but this does not apply where the deceased at his death was (or would but for the relevant accident have been) wholly maintaining the beneficiary.
(2) In the case of a relative who—
(a) was at the deceased's death a child, or
(b) is a posthumous son or daughter of the deceased,
references in subsection (1) above to the weekly rate of the deceased's contributions are to that of the contributions which he might have been expected to make to the relative's maintenance when he ceased to be a child.

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.
