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
30 Determination on authorisation by the Secretary of State
(1) Upon receipt of a report from the Food Standards Agency under regulation 21 or 28 the Secretary of State must decide whether to issue a food and feed marketing authorisation. (2) If the Secretary of State decides to issue a food and feed marketing authorisation, the Secretary of State must decide— (a) any conditions to which the authorisation must be subject; (b) any limitations to which the authorisation must be subject. (3) The Secretary of State may issue a food and feed marketing authorisation if it appears to the Secretary of State that— (a) any food or feed produced from the organism to which the food and feed marketing authorisation would apply would not have adverse effects on animal or human health; (b) the way in which any such food or feed would be placed on the market would not mislead consumers; (c) the production of any such food or feed in place of other food or feed that it might reasonably be expected to replace would not have adverse effects on the environment; (d) consuming any such food or feed in place of other food or feed that it might reasonably be expected to replace would not be nutritionally disadvantageous to humans or animals. (4) When considering whether the requirements in paragraph (3) are met, the Secretary of State must— (a) have regard to any report which has been provided by the Food Standards Agency under regulation 21 or 28; (b) not apply any test in connection with these requirements which would not otherwise be applicable in relation to any food or feed produced from organisms which are not produced from the application of modern biotechnology. (5) The Secretary of State must not issue a food and feed marketing authorisation if— (a) the Secretary of State concludes from the assessment of the safety of the precision bred organism or having considered any other legitimate factors that a food and feed marketing authorisation cannot be issued; (b) an application has been made under regulation 20 and the Secretary of State cannot reasonably conclude that the requirements of regulation 20(1) have been met. (6) The Secretary of State must advise the Food Standards Agency of the decisions under paragraphs (1) and (2) (where applicable) as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the report from the Food Standards Agency. (7) If the Secretary of State decides not to issue a food and feed marketing authorisation, the Secretary of State must give reasons for the decision to the Food Standards Agency.

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.
