Juries (Disqualification) Act 1984 (Repealed)
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.

1 Disqualification for jury service of persons who have served or had imposed on them certain sentences.
(1) The following paragraphs shall be substituted for the second paragraph of Part II of Schedule 1 to the Juries Act 1974 (persons disqualified for jury service)— A person who at any time in the last ten years has, in the United Kingdom or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man— (a) served any part of a sentence of imprisonment, youth custody or detention; or (b) been detained in a Borstal institution; or (c) had passed on him or (as the case may be) made in respect of him a suspended sentence of imprisonment or order for detention; or (d) had made in respect of him a community service order. A person who at any time in the last five years has, in the United Kingdom or the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, been placed on probation. (2) This section shall not effect the qualification of any person to serve on a jury in pursuance of any summons to attend for jury service issued under the Juries Act 1974 before the commencement of this Act (whether by notice in accordance with section 2 of that Act or under section 6 of that Act).

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.
