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
33 Period of validity of marriage schedule.
(1) A marriage may be solemnized on the authority of a marriage schedule at any time within the period which is the applicable period in relation to that marriage. (2) If the marriage is not solemnized within the applicable period— (a) the notices of marriage and the marriage schedule are void; and (b) no person may solemnize the marriage on the authority of that marriage schedule. (3) The applicable period, in relation to a marriage, is the period beginning with the day on which the notice of marriage was recorded in the marriage register and ending— (a) in the case of a marriage which is to be solemnized in pursuance of section 26(1)(dd), 37 or 38, on the expiry of three months; and (b) in the case of any other marriage, on the expiry of twelve months. (4) If the notices of marriage given by each person to be married are not recorded in the marriage register on the same date, the applicable period is to be calculated by reference to the earlier of the two dates.

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.
