Local Government (Contracts) Act 1997
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 Special provision for judicial reviews and audit reviews.
(1) Section 2(1) does not apply for the purposes of determining any question arising on— (a) an application for judicial review, or (b) an audit review, as to whether a local authority had power to enter into a contract (or exercised any power properly in entering into a contract). (2) Section 2(1) has effect subject to any determination or order made in relation to a certified contract on— (a) an application for judicial review, or (b) an audit review. (3) Where, on an application for judicial review or an audit review relating to a certified contract entered into by a local authority, a court— (a) is of the opinion that the local authority did not have power to enter into the contract (or exercised any power improperly in entering into it), but (b) (having regard in particular to the likely consequences for the financial position of the local authority, and for the provision of services to the public, of a decision that the contract should not have effect) considers that the contract should have effect, the court may determine that the contract has (and always has had) effect as if the local authority had had power to enter into it (and had exercised that power properly in entering into it). (4) In this section and sections 6 and 7 references to an application for judicial review include any appeal (or further appeal) against a determination or order made on such an application.

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.
