Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986
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
17A Setting free and re-homing protected animals
(1) A person who holds a licence under this Act must not set free a relevant protected animal, or permit any person acting on their behalf to do so, unless— (a) the Secretary of State has consented to the setting free of the animal; or (b) the animal is set free during the course of a series of regulated procedures. (2) A person who holds a licence under this Act must not re-home a relevant protected animal, or permit any person acting on their behalf to do so, unless the Secretary of State has consented to the re-homing of the animal. (3) The Secretary of State must not consent to the setting free or re-homing of a relevant protected animal unless satisfied— (a) that the animal’s state of health allows it to be set free or re-homed; (b) that the setting free or re-homing of the animal poses no danger to public health, animal health or the environment; (c) that there is an adequate scheme in place for ensuring the socialisation of the animal upon being set free or re-homed; and (d) that other appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard the animal’s well-being upon being set free or re-homed. (4) The Secretary of State must not consent to the setting free of a relevant protected animal which has been taken from the wild unless the Secretary of State is also satisfied that the animal has undergone a programme of rehabilitation or that it would be inappropriate for the animal to be required to undergo such a programme. (5) For the purposes of this section— (a) “relevant protected animal” has the same meaning as in section 15A(11); (b) a reference to a person who holds a licence under this Act includes a reference to a person who held a licence under this Act which is no longer in force; (c) an animal is not to be treated as being “re-homed” if it is moved to live in a place which is for the time being specified in a section 2C licence.

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.
