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
7 Identity of person arrested
(1) This section applies if— (a) a person arrested under a Part 1 warrant is brought before the appropriate judge under section 4(3), or (b) a person arrested under section 5 is brought before the appropriate judge under section 6 and section 6(2A) is complied with in relation to him. (2) The judge must decide whether the person brought before him is the person in respect of whom— (a) the warrant referred to in subsection (1)(a) was issued, or (b) the warrant referred to in section 6(4) was issued. (3) The judge must decide the question in subsection (2) on a balance of probabilities. (4) If the judge decides the question in subsection (2) in the negative he must order the person’s discharge. (5) If the judge decides that question in the affirmative he must proceed under section 8. (6) In England and Wales, the judge has the same powers (as nearly as may be) as a magistrates' court would have if the proceedings were the summary trial of an information against the person. (7) In Scotland— (a) the judge has the same powers (as nearly as may be) as if the proceedings were summary proceedings in respect of an offence alleged to have been committed by the person; but (b) in his making any decision under subsection (2) evidence from a single source shall be sufficient. (8) In Northern Ireland, the judge has the same powers (as nearly as may be) as a magistrates' court would have if the proceedings were the hearing and determination of a complaint against the person. (9) If the judge exercises his power to adjourn the proceedings he must remand the person in custody or on bail. (10) If the person is remanded in custody, the appropriate judge may later grant bail.

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.
