Learning and Skills Act 2000
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
140 Assessments relating to learning difficulties: Wales
(1) Subsection (2) applies if— (a) a local authority in Wales maintains a statement of special educational needs for a person under section 324 of the Education Act 1996, and (b) the Welsh Ministers believe that the person will leave school at the end of his last year of compulsory schooling to receive post-16 education or training (within the meaning of Part 2 of this Act) or higher education (within the meaning of the Education Reform Act 1988). (2) The Welsh Ministers must arrange for an assessment of the person to be conducted at some time during the person’s last year of compulsory schooling. (3) The Welsh Ministers may at any time arrange for an assessment to be conducted of a person— (a) who is in his last year of compulsory schooling or who is over compulsory school age but has not attained the age of 25, (b) who appears to the Welsh Ministers to have a learning difficulty (within the meaning of section 13), and (c) who is receiving, or in the opinion of the Welsh Ministers is likely to receive, post-16 education or training (within the meaning of Part 2 of this Act) or higher education (within the meaning of the Education Reform Act 1988). (4) For the purposes of this section an assessment of a person is an assessment resulting in a written report of— (a) his educational and training needs, and (b) the provision required to meet them. (5) A local authority in Wales must send a copy of a statement maintained by it under section 324 of the Education Act 1996 to the Welsh Ministers on their request. (5A) “Local authority in Wales” has the same meaning as in the Education Act 1996 (see section 579(1) of that Act). (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
