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.

7 The Commission.
(1) In this section “the Commission” means an independent organisation established by an agreement, made in connection with the affairs of Northern Ireland between Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the Government of the Republic of Ireland, to facilitate the decommissioning of firearms, ammunition and explosives. (2) The Secretary of State may by order— (a) confer on the Commission the legal capacities of a body corporate; (b) confer on the Commission, in such cases, to such extent and with such modifications as the order may specify, any of the privileges and immunities set out in Part I of Schedule 1 to the International Organisations Act 1968; (c) confer on members and servants of the Commission and members of their families who form part of their households, in such cases, to such extent and with such modifications as the order may specify any of the privileges and immunities set out in Parts II, III and V of that Schedule; (d) make provision about the waiver of privileges and immunities. In this subsection “servants of the Commission” includes agents of, and persons carrying out work for or giving advice to, the Commission. (3) An order under subsection (2)— (a) may make different provision for different cases (including different provision for different persons); (b) shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) The Secretary of State may— (a) make payments to the Commission or to members of the Commission; (b) provide for the Commission such premises and facilities, and the services of such staff, as he thinks appropriate. (5) This section shall come into force on such day as the Secretary of State, after consulting the Minister for Justice of the Republic of Ireland, may by order made by statutory instrument appoint. (6) This section shall cease to have effect at the end of such day as the Secretary of State, after consulting the Minister for Justice of the Republic of Ireland, may by order made by statutory instrument appoint; and an order under this subsection may include such transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State to be expedient.

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.
