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.

52ZT Directions to major precepting authorities
(1) This section applies if the Secretary of State gives a direction under section 52ZR above to a major precepting authority other than the Greater London Authority. (2) The direction must state the amount that is to be the amount of the major precepting authority's council tax requirement for the financial year. (3) If the direction is given before the major precepting authority has carried out its council tax calculations for the financial year, that amount is to be treated for all purposes as the amount calculated by the major precepting authority under section 42A above. (4) If the direction is given after the major precepting authority has carried out its council tax calculations for the financial year (whether or not it has issued a precept for the year)— (a) those calculations are of no effect, and (b) the authority must make substitute calculations for the year in accordance with section 49 above. (5) For the purposes of those and any subsequent substitute calculations and the application of Chapters 3 and 4 above to them— (a) the amount stated in the direction as the amount of the major precepting authority's council tax requirement for the financial year is to be treated as the amount calculated by the billing authority under section 42A above, and (b) subsection (2)(za) of section 49 above is to be ignored.

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.
