Isle of Man Act 1979
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.

4 Enforcement of Isle of Man judgments for common duties.
(1) Subject to subsection (2) below, the provisions of sections 2 to 5 of the Foreign Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1933 shall have effect in relation to any judgment or order given or made by the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man under which an amount is payable on account of— (a) a common duty chargeable under the law of the Island; or (b) a fine or penalty imposed in connection with such a duty, as if the judgment or order were a judgment to which Part I of that Act applied. (2) Subsection (1) above does not apply to a judgment or order given or made on appeal from a lower court but, except when given or made in criminal proceedings, applies notwithstanding that it is subject to appeal or that an appeal against it is pending. (3) In their application by virtue of subsection (1) above the provisions there mentioned shall have effect— (a) with the omission of so much of section 2(1) as imposes a time-limit for applications for registration; (b) with the omission of section 4(1)(a)(v) and (vi); and (c) as if the Commissioners were the judgment creditor and any criminal proceedings in which the judgment or order was given or made were an action. (4) The reference in subsection (1) above to sections 2 to 5 of the said Act of 1933 includes a reference to so much of sections 11 to 13 of that Act as is relevant to those sections and the definition of “appeal” in section 11 shall apply for the purposes of subsection (2) above. (5) The reference in subsection (1) above to the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man includes a reference to the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

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.
