The Diseases of Swine Regulations 2014
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
23 Protection and surveillance zones
(1) This regulation applies where the existence of disease has been confirmed on premises. (2) Where the premises comprise— (a) a slaughterhouse, (b) a veterinary surgery where a pig has been brought for examination, or (c) any other place to which a pig has been brought temporarily and the appropriate authority does not consider that place to be the centre of infection, the appropriate authority may declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises. (2A) Where African swine fever has been confirmed on premises in England, the Secretary of State— (a) must declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises unless a restricted zone 3 is already in place, or is declared, over the premises; (b) where a restricted zone 3 is already in place, or is declared, over the premises, may declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises. (3) In any other case the appropriate authority must declare a protection zone and a surveillance zone around the premises. (4) The zones must be centred on the part of the premises that the appropriate authority considers most appropriate for disease control and— (a) a protection zone must have a radius of at least 3 kilometres; (b) a surveillance zone around the outside of the protection zone must, subject to paragraph (5), have a radius of at least 10 kilometres. (5) The appropriate authority may reduce the size of a surveillance zone .... (6) The appropriate authority must ensure that within those zones, as far as is reasonably practicable— (a) premises that contain pigs are identified; and (b) veterinary inspectors visit such identified premises to— (i) inspect, and as necessary examine, the pigs on the premises; and (ii) collect and have tested such samples as the Chief Veterinary Officer considers necessary. (6A) Paragraph (6) does not apply in relation to zones declared by the Secretary of State. (7) The measures in Part 1 of Schedule 3 apply in a protection zone other than a protection zone declared by the Secretary of State. (8) The measures in Part 2 of Schedule 3 apply in a surveillance zone other than a protection zone declared by the Secretary of State. (9) The measures in Schedule 4 apply in a protection and surveillance zone other than a protection zone declared by the Secretary of State. (9A) The measures in Schedules 3A and Parts 4 and 5 of Schedule 4A, in so far as they relate to protection zones and surveillance zones declared by the Secretary of State, apply in relation to those zones. (10) The appropriate authority may in a declaration apply any other measure that it deems to be necessary in order to reduce the spread of disease in respect of the whole or any part of any protection zone or surveillance zone. (11) This regulation is subject to regulation 27D (area controls following confirmation of swine vesicular disease in pigs in England).

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
