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.

20 Giving notice of applications
(1) Where an application under a provision listed in subsection (2) is made— (a) the applicant must send notice of the application and any other information specified by rules of court to the persons specified by rules of court, and (b) the application must be advertised in accordance with rules of court. (2) Those provisions are— (a) section 2 (guardianship order); (b) section 12 (variation of guardianship order); (c) section 13 (revocation of guardianship order). (3) The court must refuse to hear an application under a provision listed in subsection (2) if it knows that a requirement under subsection (1) has not been met. (4) If the court makes an order on an application in circumstances in which a requirement under subsection (1) has not been met— (a) the failure to meet the requirement does not invalidate the order, but (b) where the court considers varying or revoking a guardianship order which it knows was made or varied in such circumstances, it must consider the effect of the failure. (5) Rules of court may make provision imposing obligations to send notice to persons specified in the rules and to advertise where— (a) an application is made under a provision of this Act which is not listed in subsection (2), or (b) the court proposes to exercise a power under this Act without an application being made.

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.
