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.

31 Content of a plan: fees
(1) An access and participation plan relating to an institution must, in respect of each relevant course year of a qualifying course, specify or provide for the determination of—
(a) the required per-credit limit or limits, in the case of a course year in respect of which the fee limit is to be determined by the credit-based method, and
(b) a fixed limit, in the case of a course year in respect of which the fee limit is to be determined by the fixed method.
(1A) “The required per-credit limit or limits” means—
(a) if the course year is to include credit-differentiated activity (see paragraph 1B(3) of Schedule 2), a per-credit limit for each such activity;
(b) otherwise, a per-credit limit.
(2) Each limit must not exceed—
(a) the higher amount, if the institution has a high level quality rating at the time the plan is approved, or
(b) in any other case, the sub-level amount.
(2A) A course year of a qualifying course is a “relevant course year” if—
(a) it begins when the plan comes into force or while it is in force, and
(b) fees are payable to the institution in respect of so much of the course as is undertaken during the course year.
(2B) The references in subsection (1) to methods of determining the fee limit are to be read in accordance with paragraph 1 of Schedule 2.
(3) In this section—
“the sub-level amount” means the amount determined from time to time under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 as the sub-level amount;
“high level quality rating” has the same meaning as in that paragraph;
“the higher amount” means the amount from time to time prescribed as the higher amount under that paragraph;
“qualifying course” and “qualifying person” have the same meaning as in section 10;
“course year”, in relation to a qualifying course, has the meaning given (in relation to that course) by section 10(7B).
(4) The references in this section to fees payable to the institution include fees payable to any other institution or person who, under arrangements with the institution, participates in the provision of the qualifying course.

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.
