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
90 Modification of licence conditions for offshore transmission and distribution
(1) If the Secretary of State considers it appropriate to do so for purposes connected with offshore transmission or offshore distribution, he may— (a) modify the standard conditions of transmission licences or distribution licences; (b) modify, for purposes that in relation to modifications made under paragraph (a) are incidental, consequential or transitional purposes, the conditions of a particular transmission licence or a particular distribution licence; (c) modify a code maintained in accordance with the conditions of a transmission licence or a distribution licence; and (d) modify an agreement that gives effect to a code so maintained. (2) Before making a modification under this section, the Secretary of State must consult— (a) the holder of any licence being modified; and (b) such other persons as he considers appropriate. (3) Subsection (2) may be satisfied by consultation that took place wholly or partly before the passing of the Energy Act 2011. (4) The Secretary of State must publish every modification made by him under this section. (5) The publication must be in such manner as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. (6) Where the Secretary of State makes modifications under subsection (1)(a) of the standard conditions of licences of any type, GEMA must— (a) make (as nearly as may be) the same modifications of those standard conditions for the purposes of their incorporation in licences of that type granted after that time; and (b) publish the modifications in such manner as it considers appropriate. (7) A modification under subsection (1)(b) of part of a standard condition of a licence does not prevent any other part of the condition from continuing to be regarded as a standard condition for the purposes of Part 1 of the 1989 Act. (8) The Secretary of State’s powers under this section are exercisable only during the eighteen months beginning with the passing of the Energy Act 2011. (9) In this section— “offshore distribution” means distribution within an area of offshore waters of electricity generated by a generating station in such an area; “offshore transmission” means transmission within an area of offshore waters of electricity generated by a generating station in such an area; and “offshore waters” means— waters in or adjacent to Great Britain which are between the mean low water mark and the seaward limits of the territorial sea; and waters within an area designated under section 1(7) of the Continental Shelf Act 1964 (c. 29). (10) Expressions used in this section and in Part 1 of the 1989 Act have the same meanings in this section as in that Part.

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.
