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
As published

(1) The principal function of the NDA shall be to have responsibility for securing—

(f) the decommissioning of designated installations comprised in NDA facilities.
(2) The responsibilities of the NDA under this section are responsibilities to be discharged by the performance of its duties under sections 15 and 16.
(3) A designation for the purposes of this section—
(a) of an installation, site or facility, and
(b) of the circumstances in which the NDA is to have responsibility for securing the treatment, storage, transportation or disposal of matter or waste,
has (subject to section 6) to be in the form of a direction given by the Secretary of State to the NDA.
(4) A direction must not give the NDA a responsibility mentioned in this section in relation to an installation, site or facility unless the person with control of it at the time when the direction is given is—
(a) a Crown appointee;

(d) the NDA itself; or
(e) a person who has consented to the giving of the direction.
(5) A direction designating an installation, site or facility must specify the paragraph or paragraphs of subsection (1) for the purposes of which it is being designated.

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.
