Energy Act 2004
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
129 Imposition of civil penalties
(1) An RTF order may— (a) designate a provision made by or under this Chapter for the purposes of this section; and (b) provide that a person is to be liable to a civil penalty if— (i) he contravenes that provision; and (ii) any other specified conditions are satisfied. (2) Where the Administrator is satisfied that a person (the “defaulter”) is so liable, he may give a notice to the defaulter in the specified manner (a “civil penalty notice”) imposing on the defaulter a penalty of such amount as the Administrator considers appropriate. (3) That penalty must not exceed the lesser of— (a) the specified amount; and (b) the amount equal to ten per cent of the turnover, as determined in the specified manner, of the specified business of the defaulter. (4) The civil penalty notice must— (a) set out the Administrator’s reasons for deciding that the defaulter is liable to a penalty; (b) state the amount of the penalty that is being imposed; (c) set out a date before which the penalty must be paid to the Administrator; (d) describe how payment may be made; (e) explain the steps that the defaulter may take if he objects to the penalty; and (f) set out and explain the powers of the Administrator to enforce the penalty. (5) The date for the payment of the penalty must not be less than 14 days after the giving of the civil penalty notice. (6) A penalty imposed by virtue of this section must be paid to the Administrator— (a) by the date set out in the civil penalty notice by which it is imposed; and (b) in a manner described in that notice. (7) Sums received by the Administrator by virtue of this section— (a) where the Administrator is the Secretary of State, must be paid into the Consolidated Fund, and (b) otherwise, must be paid to the Secretary of State, who must pay them into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
