Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001
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
9 Registration of sums payable in default
(1) If the designated officer for a local justice area receives a registration certificate, he must register the registrable sum for enforcement as a fine in that area by entering it in the register of a magistrates’ court acting for that area. (2) But if it appears to him that the defaulter does not reside in that area— (a) subsection (1) does not apply to him; but (b) he must cause the certificate to be sent to the person appearing to him to be the designated officer for the local justice area in which the defaulter resides . (3) A designated officer registering a sum under this section for enforcement as a fine, must give the defaulter notice of the registration. (4) The notice must— (a) specify the amount of the sum registered, and (b) give the information with respect to the offence, and the authority for registration, which was included in the registration certificate under section 8. (5) If a sum is registered in a magistrates’ court as a result of this section, any enactment referring (in whatever terms) to a fine imposed, or other sum adjudged to be paid, on conviction by such a court applies as if the registered sum were a fine imposed by that court on the conviction of the defaulter on the date on which the sum was registered.

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.
