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.

66E Creating purported intimate image of adult
(1) A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) A intentionally creates a purported intimate image of another person (B),
(b) B does not consent to the creation of the purported intimate image, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
(2) “Purported intimate image” of a person means an image which—
(a) appears to be, or to include, a photograph or film of the person (but is not, or is not only, a photograph or film of the person),
(b) appears to be of an adult, and
(c) appears to show the person in an intimate state.
(3) Subsections (5) to (9) of section 66D (person in an intimate state) apply for the purposes of this section as if references in those subsections to a photograph or film were references to an image.

(a) appears to show the person, but
(b) does not appear to show—
(i) something within section 66D(5)(a) to (e) (read with subsections (6) and (7) of that section) which is not shown in the photograph or film, or
(ii) a person who is not shown in the photograph or film.
(5) It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under this section to prove that the person had a reasonable excuse for creating the purported intimate image.

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.
