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.
Change 1
2 Disqualification on conviction of indictable offence.
(1) The court may make a disqualification order against a person where he is convicted of an indictable offence (whether on indictment or summarily) in connection with the promotion, formation, management liquidation or striking off of a company with the receivership of a company’s property or with his being an administrative receiver of a company. (1A) In subsection (1), “company” includes overseas company. (2) “The court” for this purpose means— (a) any court having jurisdiction to wind up the company in relation to which the offence was committed, or (aa) in relation to an overseas company not falling within paragraph (a), the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session, or (b) the court by or before which the person is convicted of the offence, or (c) in the case of a summary conviction in England and Wales, any other magistrates’ court acting in the same local justice area; and for the purposes of this section the definition of “indictable offence” in Schedule 1 to the Interpretation Act 1978 applies for Scotland as it does for England and Wales. (3) The maximum period of disqualification under this section is— (a) where the disqualification order is made by a court of summary jurisdiction, 5 years, and (b) in any other case, 15 years.

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.
