Endangered Species (Import and Export) Act 1976
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
5 Power to restrict places at which live animals may be imported.
(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State desirable to do so for the purpose of assisting the discovery of any importation contrary to section 1 above of any live animal of any of the kinds to which Schedule 1 to this Act for the time being applies, he may make an order under this section relating to any kind of animal. (2) An order under this section may provide that (subject to such exceptions as may be specified in the order) it is prohibited to do such one or more of the following things as is (or are) specified in the order, that is to say— (a) to import by sea any live animal of any kind to which the order is expressed to relate; (b) to import any such animal by sea unless it is imported at a port or one of the ports specified in the order in relation to animals of that kind; (c) to import any such animal by air; (d) to import any such animal by air unless it is unloaded at an airport or one of the airports specified in the order in relation to animals of that kind; (e) to import any such animal by land; (f) to import any such animal by land unless it is brought across the boundary into Northern Ireland at a place or one of the places specified in the order in relation to animals of that kind. (3) Any prohibition or restriction in any order under this section shall not apply to an animal which the Secretary of State authorises to be imported otherwise than in accordance with the order and which is imported in accordance with that authorisation. (4) In subsection (2) above— “airport” means an aerodrome for the time being designated as a customs and excise airport as mentioned in section 21(7) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979; “port” means any area for the time being appointed and named under section 19(1) of that Act as a port for the purposes of customs and excise.

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.
