Family Law Act 1996
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
63E Undertakings instead of orders
(1) In any case where the court has power to make a forced marriage protection order, the court may accept an undertaking from the respondent instead of making the order. (2) But a court may not accept an undertaking under subsection (1) if it appears to the court— (a) that the respondent has used or threatened violence against the person to be protected, and (b) that, for the person's protection, it is necessary to make a forced marriage protection order so that any breach of it by the respondent may be punishable under section 63CA. (4) An undertaking given to the court under subsection (1) is enforceable as if the court had made the order in terms corresponding to those of the undertaking. (5) This section is without prejudice to the powers of the court apart from this section.

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.
