Transport Act 1962
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
15A Compulsory purchase of land: British Waterways Board ...
(1) Section 15 of this Act does not apply to the compulsory purchase of land ... by the British Waterways Board. (2) The Scottish Ministers may authorise the British Waterways Board (in this section “the Board”) to purchase compulsorily any land in Scotland which the Board require for the purposes of their business there, and the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 shall apply as if the Board were a local authority within the meaning of that Act. (3) Subsection (2) does not authorise the Board to purchase compulsorily land which they have power to acquire by agreement under section 11(4) of this Act. (4) The Scottish Ministers shall not under this section authorise the Board to purchase land for the purpose of constructing a pipe-line if the construction of the pipe-line requires their consent under section 12(3) of this Act. (5) The power of purchasing land compulsorily in this section includes power to acquire a servitude or other right over land by the creation of a new right; but this subsection does not apply to a servitude or other right over any land which would, for the purposes of the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 form part of a common or open space.

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.
