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
As published
12 Trading elsewhere than in shops.
It shall not be lawful in any locality to carry on in any place not being a shop retail trade or business of any class at any time on a week day when it would be unlawful in that locality to keep a shop open for the purposes of retail trade or business of that class, and, if any person carries on any trade or business in contravention of this section, this Part of this Act and the provisions in Part V for the enforcement of this Act shall apply as if he were the occupier of a shop and the shop were being kept open in contravention of this Part of this Act:
Provided that—
(a) the prohibition imposed by this section shall, . . . . . . , be subject, in so far as the prohibition is affected by any closing order, to such exemptions and conditions, if any, as may be contained in the order; and
(b) nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a barber or hairdresser from attending a customer in the customer’s residence, or the holding of an auction sale of private effects in a private dwelling-house; and
(c) nothing in this section shall apply to the sale of newspapers.

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.
