Localism Act 2011
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
15 Power to transfer local public functions to permitted authorities
(1) The Secretary of State may by order make provision— (a) transferring a local public function from the public authority whose function it is to an EPB; (b) about the discharge of local public functions that are transferred to EPBs under this section (including provision enabling the discharge of those functions to be delegated). (2) An order under this section may modify any enactment (whenever passed or made) for the purpose of making the provision mentioned in subsection (1). (3) The power to modify an enactment in subsection (2) is a power— (a) to apply that enactment with or without modifications, (b) to extend, disapply or amend that enactment, or (c) to repeal or revoke that enactment with or without savings. (4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (5) The Secretary of State may not make an order under this section unless the Secretary of State considers that it is likely that making the order would— (a) promote economic development or wealth creation, or (b) increase local accountability in relation to each local public function transferred by the order. (6) For the purposes of subsection (5)(b), in relation to a local public function, local accountability is increased if the exercise of the function becomes more accountable to persons living or working in the area of the EPB to which it is transferred. (7) The Secretary of State may not make an order under this section unless the Secretary of State considers that the local public function transferred by the order can appropriately be exercised by the EPB to which it is transferred. (8) The Secretary of State may not make an order under this section transferring a local public function to an EPB unless the authority has consented to the transfer. (9) Before making an order under this section, the Secretary of State must consult such persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

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.
