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
28I Statutory undertakers, etc.: duty in relation to authorising operations.
(1) This section applies where the permission of a section 28G authority is needed before operations may be carried out.
(2) Before permitting the carrying out of operations likely to damage any of the flora, fauna or geological or physiographical features by reason of which a site of special scientific interest is of special interest, a section 28G authority shall give notice of the proposed operations to Natural England.
(3) Subsection (2) applies even if the operations would not take place on land included in a site of special scientific interest.
(4) The authority shall wait until the expiry of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice under subsection (2) before deciding whether to give its permission, unless Natural England have notified the authority that it need not wait until then.
(5) The authority shall take any advice received from Natural England into account—
(a) in deciding whether or not to permit the proposed operations, and
(b) if it does decide to do so, in deciding what (if any) conditions are to be attached to the permission.
(6) If Natural England advise against permitting the operations, or advise that certain conditions should be attached, but the section 28G authority does not follow that advice, the authority—
(a) shall give notice of the permission, and of its terms, to Natural England, the notice to include a statement of how (if at all) the authority has taken account of the Council’s advice, and
(b) shall not grant a permission which would allow the operations to start before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the date of that notice.
(7) In this section “permission”, in relation to any operations, includes authorisation, consent, and any other type of permission (and “permit” and “permitting” are to be construed accordingly).

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.
