Marriage Act 1949
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
31ZA Notice of marriage: false information or evidence
(1) A superintendent registrar may refuse to issue a marriage schedule under section 31(2) in a case where— (a) notice of marriage has been given under section 27, and (b) a superintendent registrar has reasonable grounds for suspecting that a relevant decision was made incorrectly because of the provision of false information or evidence. (2) If the superintendent registrar refuses to issue the marriage schedule, the parties to the proposed marriage are to be taken not to have given notice under section 27; but that does not prevent criminal proceedings from being brought against either party, or any other person, in relation to the giving of the notice. (3) This section does not limit the powers of superintendent registrars to refuse to issue a marriage schedule under section 31 in respect of marriages. (4) In this section— “evidence” includes a photograph or other image; “exempt person” has the same meaning as in section 28H; “relevant decision” means a decision of a superintendent registrar that a party to a proposed marriage is an exempt person.

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.
