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
As published
23 Directions: general.
(1) The Authority may from time to time give directions for any purpose for which directions may be given under this Act or directions varying or revoking such directions.
(2) A person to whom any requirement contained in directions is applicable shall comply with the requirement.
(3) Anything done by a person in pursuance of directions is to be treated for the purposes of this Act as done in pursuance of a licence.
(4) Where directions are to be given to a particular person, they shall be given by serving notice of the directions on the person.
(5) In any other case, directions may be given—
(a) in respect of any licence (including a licence which has ceased to have effect), by serving notice of the directions on the person—
(i) who is the person responsible or the holder of the licence, if different, or
(ii) who was the person responsible or the holder of the licence, if different,
(b) if the directions appear to the Authority to be general directions or it appears to the Authority that it is not practicable to give notice in pursuance of paragraph (a) above, by publishing the directions in such way as, in the opinion of the Authority, is likely to bring the directions to the attention of the persons to whom they are applicable.

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.
