Energy Act 2011
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
106 Agreement about modifying decommissioning programme
(1) Section 46 of the Energy Act 2008 (approval of a decommissioning programme) is amended as follows. (2) After subsection (3) insert— (3A) When approving a programme the Secretary of State may agree to exercise, or not to exercise, the section 48 power— (a) in a particular manner; (b) within a particular period. (3B) An agreement under subsection (3A) may subsequently be amended by the Secretary of State and the other party to the agreement. (3C) The Secretary of State may not make such an agreement or amend such an agreement unless satisfied that the agreement (or the agreement as amended) includes adequate provision for the modification of the programme in the event that the provision made by it for the technical matters (including the financing of the designated technical matters) ceases to be prudent. (3D) Provision in such an agreement (including the provision mentioned in subsection (3C)) may include provision— (a) for a determination by a third party in relation to a relevant matter specified in the agreement, and (b) for the Secretary of State to be bound by such a determination. (3E) A “relevant matter” is a matter relating to the provision made by the programme for the technical matters. (3F) Subsections (3A) to (3D) apply notwithstanding that the agreement or amendment fetters the Secretary of State's discretion. (3G) In subsection (3A) “section 48 power” means the power of the Secretary of State under section 48 to propose a modification of the programme or a modification of the conditions to which the approval of the programme is subject. (3) In subsection (4) for “(3)” substitute “ (3B) ”.

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.
