Family Law Act 1986
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
19 Jurisdiction: general.
(1) A court in Northern Ireland shall not make a section 1(1)(c) order with respect to a child unless— (a) it has jurisdiction under ... the Hague Convention , or (b) the Hague Convention does not apply but— (i) the question of making the order arises in or in connection with matrimonial proceedings or civil partnership proceedings and the condition in section 19A of this Act is satisfied, or (ii) the condition in section 20 of this Act is satisfied. (3) A court in Northern Ireland shall not make a section 1(1)(e) order unless— (a) it has jurisdiction under ... the Hague Convention , or (b) the Hague Convention does not apply but— (i) the condition in section 20 of this Act is satisfied, or (ii) the child concerned is present in Northern Ireland on the relevant date and the court considers that the immediate exercise of its powers is necessary for his protection.

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.
