Ivory Act 2018
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
5 Fresh applications and appeals
(1) Where an application for an exemption certificate is refused or an exemption certificate is revoked, the owner of the item concerned— (a) may make a fresh application; (b) may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the refusal or revocation. (2) A fee prescribed under section 3(1)(h) must be the same for a fresh application under subsection (1)(a) as for a first application. (3) An appeal under subsection (1)(b) may be on the ground— (a) that the decision was based on an error of fact, (b) that the decision was wrong in law, or (c) that the decision was unreasonable, or on any other grounds that are prescribed by regulations made by the appropriate national authority. (4) On an appeal under subsection (1)(b), the First-tier Tribunal may— (a) confirm the Secretary of State's decision to refuse or revoke the exemption certificate, (b) require the Secretary of State to issue an exemption certificate, or to cancel the decision to revoke an existing exemption certificate, or (c) remit the decision to refuse or revoke the exemption certificate to the Secretary of State for reconsideration. (5) The appropriate national authority may by regulations make further provision about appeals under subsection (1)(b). (6) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring an appellant to pay a fee of a prescribed amount.

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.
