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
142 Power to declare rights of parties.
(1) Where under any provision of this Act a thing can be done by a creditor or owner on an enforcement order only, and either—
(a) the court dismisses (except on technical grounds only) an application for an enforcement order, or
(b) where no such application has been made or such an application has been dismissed on technical grounds only, an interested party applies to the court for a declaration under this subsection,
the court may if it thinks just make a declaration that the creditor or owner is not entitled to do that thing, and thereafter no application for an enforcement order in respect of it shall be entertained.
(2) Where—
(a) a regulated agreement or linked transaction is cancelled under section 69(1), or becomes subject to section 69(2), or
(b) a regulated agreement is terminated under section 91,
and an interested party applies to the court for a declaration under this subsection, the court may make a declaration to that effect.

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.
