The East Anglia ONE Offshore Wind Farm Order 2014
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
13 Discharge of water
(1) The undertakers may use any watercourse or any public sewer or drain for the drainage of water in connection with the carrying out or maintenance of the authorised project and for that purpose may lay down, take up and alter pipes and may, on any land within the Order limits, make openings into, and connections with, the watercourse, public sewer or drain subject to the obtaining of consent and approval respectively pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4). (2) Any dispute arising from the making of connections to or the use of a public sewer or drain by the undertakers pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be determined as if it were a dispute under section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991 (right to communicate with public sewers). (3) The undertakers shall not discharge any water into any watercourse, public sewer or drain except with the consent of the person to whom it belongs; and such consent may be given subject to such terms and conditions as that person may reasonably impose, but shall not be unreasonably withheld. (4) The undertakers shall not carry out any works to any public sewer or drain pursuant to article 13(1) except— (a) in accordance with plans approved by the person to whom the sewer or drain belongs, but such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) where that person has been given the opportunity to supervise the making of the opening. (5) The undertakers shall not, in carrying out or maintaining works pursuant to this article, damage or interfere with the bed or banks of any watercourse forming part of a main river. (6) The undertakers shall take such steps as are reasonably practicable to secure that any water discharged into a watercourse or public sewer or drain pursuant to this article is as free as may be practicable from gravel, soil or other solid substance, oil or matter in suspension. (7) This article does not authorise the entry into controlled waters of any matter whose entry or discharge into controlled waters is prohibited by regulation 12 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016. (8) In this article— (a) “public sewer or drain” means a sewer or drain which belongs to a sewerage undertakers, the Environment Agency, an internal drainage board or a local authority; and (b) other expressions, excluding watercourse, used both in this article and in the Water Resources Act 1991, as amended by the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 have the same meaning as in that Act.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
