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
9 Proceedings before divorce order has been made final: general powers of court.
(1) Where a divorce order has been made but not made final, then, without prejudice to section 8 above, any person (excluding a party to the proceedings other than the Queen’s Proctor) may show cause why the order should not be made final by reason of material facts not having been brought before the court; and in such a case the court may—
(a) notwithstanding anything in section 1(4) above (but subject to section 10(2) to (4) ... below) make the order final; or
(b) rescind the order; or
(c) require further inquiry; or
(d) otherwise deal with the case as it thinks fit.
(2) Where a divorce order has been made on an application by one party to a marriage and that party has not applied for the order to be made final, then, at any time after the expiration of three months from the earliest date on which that party could have made such an application, the other party to the marriage may make an application to the court, and on that application the court may exercise any of the powers mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (1) above.

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.
