Food Safety Act 1990
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
44 Protection of officers acting in good faith.
(1) An officer of a food authority is not personally liable in respect of any act done by him— (a) in the execution or purported execution of this Act; and (b) within the scope of his employment, if he did that act in the honest belief that his duty under this Act required or entitled him to do it. (2) Nothing in subsection (1) above shall be construed as relieving any food authority from any liability in respect of the acts of their officers. (3) Where an action has been brought against an officer of a food authority in respect of an act done by him— (a) in the execution or purported execution of this Act; but (b) outside the scope of his employment, the authority may indemnify him against the whole or a part of any damages which he has been ordered to pay or any costs which he may have incurred if they are satisfied that he honestly believed that the act complained of was within the scope of his employment. (4) A public analyst appointed by a food authority shall be treated for the purposes of this section as being an officer of the authority, whether or not his appointment is a whole-time appointment.

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.
