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.

(b) if the designated person notifies the respondent of a different period for a response (whether longer or shorter than the 14-day period), the end of that different period.
(3) The response must —
(a) state whether or not the respondent admits, in whole or in part, the complaint,
(b) if no admission is made, include a response to the complaint,
(c) if a partial admission is made—

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.
