Northern Ireland (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006
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
25 Sustainable development
(1) A public authority must, in exercising its functions, act in the way it considers best calculated to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development in Northern Ireland, except to the extent that it considers that any such action is not reasonably practicable in all the circumstances of the case. (2) For this purpose— (a) a public authority must have regard to any strategy or guidance relating to sustainable development issued by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs , and (b) a public authority other than a Northern Ireland department must have regard to any guidance relating to sustainable development issued by a Northern Ireland department other than the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs . (3) In this section “public authority” means— (a) a Northern Ireland department, (b) a district council in Northern Ireland, and (c) any other person designated for the purposes of this section by order made by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs . (4) The power to make an order under subsection (3)(c) is exercisable by statutory rule for the purposes of the Statutory Rules (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 (S.I. 1979/1573 (N.I. 12)). (5) Such an order may not be made unless a draft of the order has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, the Northern Ireland Assembly.

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.
