Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act 1963 (repealed)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.
Change 1
27 The levy
(1) The contributions such as are mentioned in section 24(1) of this Act to be made by bookmakers and betting exchange providers shall be paid by way of a levy in respect of each levy period in accordance with this section. (1A) The levy is charged at the rate of 10% of the amount by which a person’s profits for a levy period exceed the exempt amount (see section 27D). (1B) The person’s profits for a levy period are the sum of— (a) the person’s profits as a bookmaker on leviable bets for the period (see section 27A), and (b) the commission charged by the person as a betting exchange provider on leviable bets during the period (see section 27C). (1C) The persons by whom the levy is payable include those bookmakers and betting exchange providers who are required to hold remote operating licences. (1D) In subsection (1C) “remote operating licence” has the same meaning as in the Gambling Act 2005 (see section 67 of that Act). (2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
