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
As published
75 Power to amend or repeal enactments prohibiting disclosure of information.
(1) If, with respect to any enactment which prohibits the disclosure of information held by a public authority, it appears to the Secretary of State or the Minister for the Cabinet Office that by virtue of section 44(1)(a) the enactment is capable of preventing the disclosure of information under section 1, he may by order repeal or amend the enactment for the purpose of removing or relaxing the prohibition.
(2) In subsection (1)—
“enactment” means—
any enactment contained in an Act passed before or in the same Session as this Act, or
any enactment contained in Northern Ireland legislation or subordinate legislation passed or made before the passing of this Act;
“information” includes unrecorded information.
(3) An order under this section may do all or any of the following—
(a) make such modifications of enactments as, in the opinion of the Secretary of State or the Minister for the Cabinet Office, are consequential upon, or incidental to, the amendment or repeal of the enactment containing the prohibition;
(b) contain such transitional provisions and savings as appear to the Secretary of State or the Minister for the Cabinet Office to be appropriate;

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.
