Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986
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.

SCHEDULE 2 Savings from Companies Act 1981 ss. 93, 94, and Insolvency Act 1985 Schedule 9
Section 19. 1 Sections 2 and 4(1)(b) do not apply in relation to anything done before 15th June 1982 by a person in his capacity as liquidator of a company or as receiver or manager of a company’s property. 2 Subject to paragraph 1— (a) section 2 applies in a case where a person is convicted on indictment of an offence which he committed (and, in the case of a continuing offence, has ceased to commit) before 15th June 1982; but in such a case a disqualification order under that section shall not be made for a period in excess of 5 years; (b) that section does not apply in a case where a person is convicted summarily— (i) in England and Wales, if he had consented so to be tried before that date, or (ii) in Scotland, if the summary proceedings commenced before that date. 3 Subject to paragraph 1, section 4 applies in relation to an offence committed or other thing done before 15th June 1982; but a disqualification order made on the grounds of such an offence or other thing done shall not be made for a period in excess of 5 years. 4 The powers of a court under section 5 are not exercisable in a case where a person is convicted of an offence which he committed (and, in the case of a continuing offence, had ceased to commit) before 15th June 1982. 5 For purposes of section 3(1) and section 5, no account is to be taken of any offence which was committed, or any default order which was made, before 1st June 1977. 6 An order made under section 28 of the Companies Act 1976 has effect as if made under section 3 of this Act; and an application made before 15th June 1982 for such an order is to be treated as an application for an order under the section last mentioned. 7 Where— (a) an application is made for a disqualification order under section 6 of this Act by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of that section, and (b) the company in question went into liquidation before 28th April 1986 (the coming into force of the provision replaced by section 6), the court shall not make an order under that section unless it could have made a disqualification order under section 300 of the Companies Act 1985 as it had effect immediately before the date specified in sub-paragraph (b) above. 8 An application shall not be made under section 8 of this Act in relation to a report made or information or documents obtained before 28th April 1986.

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.
