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.

(1) Where—
(a) a court dismisses an application for a care order; and

the court may make a care order with respect to the child to have effect subject to such directions (if any) as the court may see fit to include in the order.
(2) Where—
(a) a court dismisses an application for a care order, or an application for a supervision order; and

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.
