Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Act 2023
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
17 Restrictions on importation and acquisition of precision bred organisms in England
(1) Regulations may make provision for requiring a person to carry out an environmental risk assessment before— (a) importing a precision bred organism where its destination is in England; (b) acquiring a precision bred organism which is in England. (2) In subsection (1), an “environmental risk assessment” means an assessment of the risks of damage to the environment being caused as result of the person importing or acquiring the organism. (3) Regulations under subsection (1) may, in particular, make provision— (a) prescribing how risk assessments are to be carried out; (b) prescribing matters which must be taken into account, investigated or assessed by persons carrying out risk assessments; (c) requiring risk assessments to be kept under review; (d) requiring records to be kept of risk assessments and for those records to be provided to the Secretary of State. (4) Provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (3) includes provision requiring persons carrying out risk assessments to obtain advice from prescribed persons. (5) For the purposes of this section— (a) “acquire”, in relation to precision bred organisms, includes any method by which such organisms may come to be in a person’s possession, other than by their being imported; (b) “damage to the environment” is caused by the presence in the environment of a precision bred organism which is no longer under anyone’s control (see section 3(2)) and is capable of causing adverse effects as regards the health of humans or the environment. (6) Regulations under this section are subject to the negative procedure.

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.
