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.

93 Recovery from local funds of sums in respect of maintenance grant.
(1) Where the Secretary of State so determines, this section applies to a local education authority in respect of any financial year for which the determination is made; and the determination may apply this section in respect of all grant-maintained schools in the area of the authority or in respect of such grant-maintained schools in that area as may be ascertained by or in accordance with the determination.
(2) The Secretary of State shall in respect of each financial year for which he makes a determination under subsection (1) above in respect of a local education authority, give notice in writing to the authority of the terms of the determination.
(3) The Secretary of State may recover from a local education authority to which this section applies in respect of any financial year sums in respect of the maintenance grant payable for that year to the governing bodies of any grant-maintained schools in respect of which the determination applies.
(4) Subject to subsection (5) below, sums recoverable by virtue of this section in respect of a school for any financial year—
(a) shall be of such amounts, and
(b) shall fall due on such date or dates,
as may be determined by the Secretary of State.
(5) The amount of any sum so recoverable shall be determined by reference to any amount—
(a) which has previously been determined under section 94 of this Act as the total amount recoverable in respect of the school and financial year in question, or
(b) (where no amount has previously been determined as mentioned in paragraph (a) above) which is estimated by the Secretary of State as the amount which will initially be determined under section 94 of this Act as the total amount recoverable in respect of the school and financial year in question,
and which the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to adopt for the time being as a basis for determining the amounts of sums so recoverable.
(6) The Secretary of State may recover sums due to him under this section in either or both of the following ways—
(a) by requiring the local education authority to pay the whole or any part of any such sum at such time or times as he thinks fit, and
(b) by deducting, at such time or times as he thinks fit, the whole or any part of any such sum from any grant payable by him to the authority under any enactment (whenever passed) or from any amount payable by him to the authority under Part III of Schedule 8 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (redistributed non-domestic rates).
(7) Any sums received by the Secretary of State by virtue of this section shall be paid into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
