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
70 Recovery of fines and forfeitures
(1) A fine or forfeiture imposed by this Act, whether declared to be recoverable on summary conviction or not, may be recovered with costs by any person who sues for the same in the High Court or the Court of Session, and that person may sue for the maximum amount of the fine or forfeiture, but shall be entitled to recover only such sum as may be awarded by the court.
(2) A proceeding in the High Court or Court of Session for the recovery of any fine or forfeiture incurred by any person under this Act shall be commenced within one year next after the fine or forfeiture was incurred.
(3) Any fine or forfeiture incurred under this Act may be recovered in any place outside the United Kingdom before any court or magistrate before whom like fines or forfeitures are ordinarily recovered, or in such other manner as may be determined by any Act or ordinance having the force of law in that place.

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.
