Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004
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
22 Intervention by Secretary of State
(1) This section applies if the Secretary of State considers that a fire and rescue authority is failing, or is likely to fail, to act in accordance with the Framework prepared under section 21. (2) For the purpose of securing that the authority acts in accordance with the Framework the Secretary of State may by order require the authority— (a) to do something; (b) to stop doing something; (c) not to do something. (3) The Secretary of State may make an order under subsection (2) only if he considers that making the order would promote— (a) public safety, (b) the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the fire and rescue authority in respect of which the order is made, or (c) economy, efficiency and effectiveness in connection with the matters in relation to which fire and rescue authorities have functions. (4) Before making an order under subsection (2) the Secretary of State must give the authority an opportunity to make representations about the order proposed.

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.
