Guardianship (Missing Persons) Act 2017
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
2 Applying for a guardianship order
(1) A person may apply to the court for an order appointing a guardian in respect of some or all of a missing person's property and financial affairs (a “guardianship order”). (2) The court has jurisdiction to hear and determine an application under this section in relation to property or financial affairs of a missing person only if— (a) the person was domiciled in England and Wales on the day before he or she was first known to be missing, (b) the person had been habitually resident in England and Wales throughout the period of one year ending with that day, or (c) the application is made by the person's spouse or civil partner and the applicant— (i) is domiciled in England and Wales on the day on which the application is made, or (ii) has been habitually resident in England and Wales throughout the period of one year ending with that day. (3) If a person is missing for two or more separate periods, the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the day before he or she was first known to be missing is to be read as a reference to the day before the latest period began.

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.
