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
62 Supplementary provisions as to designation of protected streets.
(1) The Secretary of State may prescribe—
(a) the criteria for designating a street as protected,
(b) the procedure for making or withdrawing such a designation, and
(c) the information to be made available by a street authority as to the streets for the time being so designated by them.
(2) Where a street has been designated as protected the street authority may direct an undertaker to remove or change the position of apparatus placed in the street at a time when it was not so designated.
The authority shall indemnify the undertaker in respect of his reasonable expenses in complying with such a direction.
(3) Where a designation is withdrawn the street authority may give such directions as they consider appropriate as to—
(a) the continuance in force of any conditions subject to which consent was given for the placing of apparatus in the street, and
(b) the continuance of entitlement to any contributions in respect of the expenses of an undertaker in complying with such conditions.
(4) Where a designation is made or withdrawn the street authority may give such directions as they consider appropriate with respect to works in progress in the street when the designation comes into force or ceases to have effect.
(5) Any dispute between a street authority and an undertaker as to the exercise by the authority of their powers under subsection (2), (3) or (4) shall be settled by arbitration.

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.
