Domestic Abuse Act 2021
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
14 Annual reports
(1) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each financial year, the Commissioner must submit to the Secretary of State an annual report on the exercise of the Commissioner's functions during the year. (2) The annual report must include— (a) an assessment of the extent to which the Commissioner's objectives and priorities have been met in that year; (b) a statement of the matters on which the Commissioner has reported under section 8 during the year; (c) a statement of the other activities the Commissioner has undertaken during the year in the exercise of the Commissioner's functions. (3) The Commissioner must arrange for a copy of every annual report under this section to be laid before Parliament (but see subsection (4)). (4) The Secretary of State may direct the Commissioner to omit material from any report under this section before it is laid before Parliament if the Secretary of State thinks the publication of that material— (a) might jeopardise the safety of any person, or (b) might prejudice the investigation or prosecution of an offence. (5) The Secretary of State must consult the Commissioner before making any direction under subsection (4). (6) In this section “financial year” means— (a) the period beginning with the day on which the first Domestic Abuse Commissioner takes office and ending with the following 31 March, and (b) each successive period of 12 months.

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.
