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
39 Avoidance of obstruction or danger to navigation by pipe-lines over or under harbour waters.
(1) No person shall place a length of pipe-line above or beneath the surface of waters over which a harbour authority have jurisdiction except with the consent of the authority and subject to such (if any) reasonable conditions as they may impose for securing that the length does not constitute an obstruction or danger to navigation.
(2) Consent, for the purposes of this section, of a harbour authority shall not be unreasonably withheld, and if a dispute arises—
(a) whether consent, for those purposes, of such an authority is unreasonably withheld, or
(b) whether conditions imposed under this section by such an authority are reasonable,
it shall be referred to and determined by the Secretary of State.
(3) A person who contravenes subsection (1) of this section shall be liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
(4) In this section “harbour authority” has the same meaning as in section 151 of the Merchant ShippingAct1995.

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.
