Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Special Provisions) Act 1957
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.

4 Validation of certain entries in marine register books and in registers kept by Army and Royal Air Force.
(1) Where in any marine register book kept under subsection (7) of section thirty-seven of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1874, a death or birth which occurred outside the United Kingdom, but not on board one of Her Majesty’s ships, among, or among the families of, persons serving in Her Majesty’s naval forces, the Royal Marines or any Marine reserve, or persons within subsection (1A) below, was entered before the commencement of this Act, the said subsection (7) shall be deemed always to have applied as if it authorised the making of such entries. (1A) A person is within this subsection if— (a) he serves Her Majesty in, or is otherwise employed in any capacity connected with, Her Majesty's naval, military or air forces; or (b) he belongs to or is employed by any organisation concerned with the welfare of members of those forces.

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.
