Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980
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
183 Relaxation of Ministerial controls over social services.
(1) The following section shall be substituted for section 3 of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 (under which no matter, other than a matter which by virtue of section 2 of the that Act stands referred to a local authority’s social services committee may be referred to or dealt with by the committee except with the consent of the Secretary of State):— Business of Social Services Committee. 3 (1) A local Authority may delegate to their social services committee any of the functions matters relating to which stand referred to the committee by virtue of section 2 of this Act (hereafter in this Act referred to as “social services functions") and, before exercising any of those functions themselves, the authority shall (unless the matter is urgent) consider a report of the committee with respect to the matter in question. (2) Nothing in section 2 of this Act prevents a local authority from referring to a committee a matter which by virtue of that section stands referred to the social services committee and which in the authority’s opinion ought to be referred to the other committee of the ground that it relates to a general service of the authority; but before referring any such matter the authority shall receive and consider a report of the social services committee with respect to the subject matter of the proposed reference. . (2) The following section shall be inserted after that section:— Power of local authority to refer or delegate to social services committee. 3A A local authority may refer to their social services committee any matter which in their view may appropriately be referred to that committee, but which would not otherwise stand referred to that committee by virtue of this Act, and may delegate to that committee any of their functions relating to a matter so referred.

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.
