Freedom of Information Act 2000
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
82 Orders and regulations.
(1) Any power of the . . . Secretary of State or the Minister for the Cabinet Office to make an order or regulations under this Act shall be exercisable by statutory instrument.

(3) A statutory instrument which contains (whether alone or with other provisions)— (a) an order under section 4(1) or 47(4B), or (b) regulations under any provision of this Act not specified in subsection (2)(b), and which is not subject to the requirement in subsection (2) that a draft of the instrument be laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament, shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) An order under section 4(5) shall be laid before Parliament after being made.

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.
