Infrastructure Act 2015
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
7 Delegation of functions
(1) A strategic highways company may authorise another person to exercise a function it has under any enactment, if the function is prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. (2) An authorisation may authorise the exercise of a function— (a) wholly or to any other extent; (b) generally or only in some cases or areas; (c) unconditionally or subject to conditions. (3) An authorisation— (a) does not prevent the company or any other person from exercising the function to which the authorisation relates, (b) may be for a period not exceeding ten years, and (c) may be revoked at any time. (4) The strategic highways company may— (a) enter into a contract with an authorised person in connection with the exercise by that person of a function; (b) make payments to an authorised person in that connection. (5) Where an authorisation is revoked at a time when a contract in connection with the exercise of a function is subsisting, the authorised person is entitled to treat the contract as repudiated by the company (and not as frustrated by reason of the revocation). (6) Regulations under this section may not prescribe a function if it is— (a) a power of entry, or (b) a power or duty to make subordinate legislation. (7) Where a function of the Secretary of State is transferred to a strategic highways company under this Part and is, immediately before the transfer, authorised to be exercised by another person by an order under section 69 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994— (a) the authorisation is to have effect as if it had been given by the transferee company under this section, and (b) if the function is not prescribed under subsection (1), it is to be regarded as having been so prescribed. (8) Where a function of a strategic highways company is transferred to another such company under this Part and is, immediately before the transfer, authorised to be exercised by another person under this section, the authorisation is to have effect as if it had been given by the transferee company under this section.

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.
