Waste and Emissions Trading Act 2003
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
4 Allocation of landfill allowances
(1) For Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each allocating authority must— (a) for each scheme year that is a target year, and (b) for each other scheme year for which an amount is specified under section 2 for its area, make among waste disposal authorities in its area an allocation of allowances authorising the sending in that year of amounts of biodegradable local authority collected municipal waste to landfills. (2) In performing the duty under subsection (1), an allocating authority must ensure that the total amount of waste authorised to be sent to landfills by the allowances it allocates for a year does not cause the amount of biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfills for that year to exceed the amount specified for its area under section 1 or 2. (3) An allocation under subsection (1) must be made before the beginning of the year to which it relates. (4) As soon as an authority has made an allocation under subsection (1), it must publish a statement— (a) detailing, in relation to each waste disposal authority in its area, what allowances have been allocated to it, and (b) explaining the basis of the allocation including in particular how the authority has complied with the duty in subsection (2). (5) Nothing in this section shall be taken as requiring any allowances to be allocated to any particular waste disposal authority.

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.
