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.

32 Interpretation of Chapter V.
(1) In this Chapter— “the appropriate court”, in relation to England and Wales or Northern Ireland, means the High Court and, in relation to Scotland, means the Court of Session; “ Part I order” includes (except where the context otherwise requires) any order within section 1(3) of this Act which, on the assumptions mentioned in subsection (3) below— (a) could have been made notwithstanding the provisions of this Part; (b) would have been a Part I order for the purposes of this Part; and (c) would not have ceased to have effect by virtue of section 6, 15 or 23 of this Act. (2) In the application of this Chapter to Scotland, “ Part I order” also includes (except where the context otherwise requires) any order within section 1(3) of this Act which, on the assumptions mentioned in subsection (3) below— (a) would have been a Part I order for the purposes of this Part; and (b) would not have ceased to have effect by virtue of section 6 or 23 of this Act, and which, but for the provisions of this Part, would be recognised in Scotland under any rule of law. (3) The said assumptions are— (a) that this Part had been in force at all material times; and (b) that any reference in section 1 of this Act to any enactment included a reference to any corresponding enactment previously in force.

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.
