Northern Ireland (Executive Formation etc) Act 2022
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
4 Exercise of departmental functions before this Act is passed
(1) The absence of Northern Ireland Ministers is not to be treated as having prevented any senior officer of a Northern Ireland department from exercising functions of the department during the period beginning with 28 October 2022 and ending when this Act is passed. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the exercise of a function if— (a) proceedings begun, but not finally decided, before this Act is passed involve a challenge to the validity of that exercise of the function, and (b) the application of that subsection would affect the outcome of the proceedings, but nothing in this subsection prevents the re-exercise of the function in the same way in reliance on section 3(1).

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.
