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.

As published
90 Interpretation of Part VIII.
(1) In this Part of this Act, unless the context otherwise requires—
“furniture” includes fittings and other articles;
“premium” means any fine, sum or pecuniary consideration, other than the rent, and includes any service or administration fee or charge;
“registered rent” means the rent registered under Part V of this Act; and
“rental period” means a period in respect of which a payment of rent falls to be made.
(2) For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that nothing in this Part of this Act shall render any amount recoverable more than once.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that a deposit returnable at the termination of a tenancy or of a Part VII contract given as security for the tenant’s obligations for rent, for accounts for supplies of gas, electricity, telephone or other domestic supplies and for damage to the dwelling-house or contents is not a premium for the purposes of this Part of this Act provided that it does not exceed the amount of two months’ rent payable under the tenancy or under the Part VII contract, as the case may be.

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.
