Procurement Act 2023
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.

57 Meaning of excluded and excludable supplier
(1) A supplier is an “excluded supplier” if— (a) the contracting authority considers that— (i) a mandatory exclusion ground applies to the supplier or an associated person, and (ii) the circumstances giving rise to the application of the exclusion ground are continuing or likely to occur again, or (b) the supplier or an associated person is on the debarment list by virtue of a mandatory exclusion ground. (2) A supplier is an “excludable supplier” if— (a) the contracting authority considers that— (i) a discretionary exclusion ground applies to the supplier or an associated person, and (ii) the circumstances giving rise to the application of the exclusion ground are continuing or likely to occur again, or (b) the supplier or an associated person is on the debarment list by virtue of a discretionary exclusion ground. (3) If a supplier is an excluded supplier on the basis of the supplier or an associated person being on the debarment list only by virtue of paragraph 35 of Schedule 6 (threat to national security), the supplier is to be treated as an excluded supplier only in relation to public contracts of a kind described in the relevant entry. (4) For the purposes of a covered procurement carried out by a private utility— (a) an excluded supplier is to be regarded as an excludable supplier, and (b) a reference in this Act to an excludable supplier includes a reference to such an excluded supplier. (5) In this Act “debarment list” means the list kept under section 62. (6) The mandatory exclusion grounds are set out in Schedule 6. (7) The discretionary exclusion grounds are set out in Schedule 7.

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.
