Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Act 2010
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
25 Forfeiture in case of conviction
(1) This section applies if a person is convicted of an offence under this Act. (2) The court by or before which the person is convicted may order that anything that is shown to the court's satisfaction to relate to the offence is to be— (a) forfeited, and (b) destroyed, or otherwise dealt with, in the manner specified in the order. (3) The court may order under subsection (2) that the forfeited item is to be dealt with as the Secretary of State sees fit. (4) If the court so orders, the powers of the Secretary of State include— (a) the power to direct the destruction of the forfeited item, and (b) the power to secure the disposal of the forfeited item in any other way that appears to the Secretary of State to be appropriate. (5) Subsection (6) applies where— (a) the court proposes to order under subsection (2) that a thing be forfeited, and (b) a person claiming to have an interest in it applies to be heard by the court. (6) The court must not make the order unless the person has been given an opportunity to show why it should not be made.

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.
