The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Investigations) Order 2014
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 Requirements where production order not available
(1) This article is satisfied in relation to a search and seizure warrant if— (a) there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the application relates to an external investigation, and (b) either the first or the second set of conditions is complied with. (2) The first set of conditions is that there are reasonable grounds for believing that— (a) any material on the premises specified in the application for the warrant is likely to be of substantial value (whether or not by itself) to the external investigation, (b) it is in the public interest for the material to be obtained, having regard to the benefit likely to accrue to the external investigation if the material is obtained, and (c) it would not be appropriate to make a production order for any one or more of the reasons in paragraph (3). (3) The reasons are— (a) that it is not practicable to communicate with any person against whom the production order could be made, (b) that it is not practicable to communicate with any person who would be required to comply with an order to grant entry to the premises, (c) that the external investigation might be seriously prejudiced unless an appropriate officer is able to secure immediate access to the material. (4) The second set of conditions is that— (a) there are reasonable grounds for believing that there is material on the premises specified in the application for the warrant and that the material falls within paragraph (5), (b) there are reasonable grounds for believing that it is in the public interest for the material to be obtained, having regard to the benefit likely to accrue to the external investigation if the material is obtained, and (c) any one or more of the requirements in paragraph (6) is satisfied. (5) Material falls within this paragraph if it cannot be identified at the time of the application but it— (a) relates to the person who is the subject of the external investigation, and (b) is likely to be of substantial value (whether or not by itself) to the external investigation for the purposes of which the warrant is sought. (6) The requirements are— (a) that it is not practicable to communicate with any person entitled to grant entry to the premises, (b) that entry to the premises will not be granted unless a warrant is produced, and (c) that the external investigation might be seriously prejudiced unless an appropriate officer arriving at the premises is able to secure immediate entry to them.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
