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
5 Alteration of allocations under section 4
(1) An authority that has made an allocation under section 4 may at any time alter the allocation, subject to subsections (2) and (3). (2) The power under subsection (1) does not extend to withdrawing an allowance that has already been utilised. (3) In exercising the power under subsection (1), an authority must ensure that the total amount of waste authorised to be sent to landfills by allowances allocated by it 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. (4) As soon as an authority has exercised the power under subsection (1), it must publish a statement— (a) detailing the alteration, and (b) explaining the basis of it including in particular how the authority has complied with the duty in subsection (3).

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.
