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
20 Amount of lump sum on incapacity for armed forces service
(1) The amount of the lump sum a person receives under regulation 19 (lump sum awards: incapacity for armed forces service) is to be determined by multiplying one eighth of the person’s final pensionable earnings by their service expressed in years and fractions of a year except where— (a) the amount calculated is less than one half of the person’s final pensionable earnings. In these circumstances the person is to receive an amount equivalent to half the person’s final pensionable earnings. (b) the amount calculated is more than twice the person’s final pensionable earnings. In these circumstances the person is to receive an amount equivalent to twice the person’s final pensionable earnings. (1A) For members who have served on flexible terms, when calculating length of service for the purpose of paragraph (1), all years and parts of a year during any period of flexible service are reduced by the service reduction percentage applicable to that period of flexible service. (2) The lump sum is payable before the expiry of the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which the person ceases to be a member of the armed forces.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
