Flood and Water Management Act 2010
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
20 Ministerial directions
(1) The Minister may direct a risk management authority to exercise a flood or coastal erosion risk management function on behalf of another risk management authority (the “defaulting authority”). (2) The Minister may give a direction under subsection (1) only if satisfied that the defaulting authority— (a) has failed to exercise the function, or (b) has failed to exercise the function in accordance with the national strategies under sections 7 and 8 or the local strategies under sections 9 and 10. (3) A direction under subsection (1) may include provision about the recovery of costs of compliance from the defaulting authority. (4) The Minister must— (a) send a copy of the direction to the defaulting authority, and (b) publish the direction. (5) But the Minister may decide not to publish a direction if it appears that to do so would be contrary to the interests of national security. (6) In this section “the Minister” means— (a) the Secretary of State in relation to risk management authorities that exercise functions only in England, (b) the Welsh Ministers in relation to risk management authorities that exercise functions only in Wales, and (c) the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers acting jointly in relation to risk management authorities that exercise functions in both England and Wales.

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.
