Extradition Act 2003
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
206 Burden and standard of proof
(1) This section applies if, in proceedings under this Act, a question arises as to burden or standard of proof. (2) The question must be decided by applying any enactment or rule of law that would apply if the proceedings were proceedings for an offence. (3) Any enactment or rule of law applied under subsection (2) to proceedings under this Act must be applied as if— (a) the person whose extradition is sought (or who has been extradited) were accused of an offence; (b) the category 1 or category 2 territory concerned were the prosecution. (4) Subsections (2) and (3) are subject to any express provision of this Act. (5) In this section “enactment” includes an enactment comprised in, or in an instrument made under, an Act of the Scottish Parliament.

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.
