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
14B Special guardianship orders: making
(1) Before making a special guardianship order, the court must consider whether, if the order were made—
(a) a child arrangements order containing contact provision should also be made with respect to the child, . . .
(b) any section 8 order in force with respect to the child should be varied or discharged.
(c) where a provision contained in a child arrangements order made with respect to the child is not discharged, any enforcement order relating to that provision should be revoked, and
(d) where an activity direction has been made—
(i) in proceedings for the making, variation or discharge of a child arrangements order with respect to the child, or
(ii) in other proceedings that relate to such an order,
that direction should be discharged.
(1A) In subsection (1) “contact provision” means provision which regulates arrangements relating to—
(a) with whom a child is to spend time or otherwise have contact, or
(b) when a child is to spend time or otherwise have contact with any person;
but in paragraphs (a) and (b) a reference to spending time or otherwise having contact with a person is to doing that otherwise than as a result of living with the person.
(2) On making a special guardianship order, the court may also—
(a) give leave for the child to be known by a new surname;
(b) grant the leave required by section 14C(3)(b), either generally or for specified purposes.

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.
