Import of Live Fish (England and Wales) Act 1980
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.

3 Offences etc.
(1) Subject to subsection (2) below, any person who— (a) imports or attempts to import into, or keeps or releases, in any part of England and Wales any live fish, or the live eggs of fish, of a species specified in an order under section 1 of this Act— (i) in a case where the order forbids absolutely such import, keeping or release; (ii) without having a valid licence granted under the said section 1 authorising such import keeping or release, in a case where the order forbids the import keeping or release except under such a licence; (b) being the holder of a licence granted to him under the said section 1, acts in contravention of or fails to comply with any term of the licence; (c) obstructs any person from entering or inspecting any land in pursuance of section 2 of this Act; shall be guilty of an offence under this Act and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale.

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.
