Rural Water Supplies and Sewerage Act 1944 (repealed 1.4.1996)
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
1 Government contributions towards expenses of local authorities for rural water supplies and sewerage.
(1) Subject to such conditions as the Treasury may determine, the Secretary of State (in this Act referred to as “the Minister”) may, in any case in which it appears to him to be desirable so to do, undertake to make a contribution towards the expenses incurred by a local authority at any time after the passing of this Act— (a) in providing a supply, or improving an existing supply, of water in a rural locality; . . . (2), (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4) The Minister may withhold, or reduce the amount of, a contribution which he has undertaken to make towards the expenses incurred by a local authority in respect of any works or transaction, if it appears to him either— (a) that any of the works have been executed in an unsatisfactory manner; or (b) that the effectiveness of any of the works is substantially less than as estimated in the proposals submitted to him by the local authority, and that the difference is due to any default, for which the local authority is responsible, in the formulation of the proposals; or (c) that there has been any default in the carrying out of the transaction. (5) Any contributions made under this section shall be defrayed out of moneys provided by Parliament. (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
