Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
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
99 Appeal against refusal to disregard convictions or cautions
(1) The applicant may appeal to the High Court if— (a) the Secretary of State refuses an application on the basis mentioned in section 94(2A) or makes a decision of the kind mentioned in section 94(3)(b), and (b) the High Court gives permission for an appeal against the decision. (2) On such an appeal, the High Court must make its decision only on the basis of the evidence that was available to the Secretary of State. (3) If the High Court decides — (a) that the conviction or caution is of a kind mentioned in section 92(1), it must make an order to that effect; (b) that it appears as mentioned in condition A of that section, it must make an order to that effect. (4) Otherwise it must dismiss the appeal. (5) A conviction or caution to which an order under subsection (3) (b) relates becomes a disregarded conviction or caution when the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the order was made has ended. (6) There is no appeal from a decision of the High Court under this section.

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.
