Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023
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.

13A Decision-making
(1) This section applies to any decision of a CCA. (2) A decision of a non-mayoral CCA is to be made by a simple majority of the voting members present and voting on that question at a meeting of the CCA. (3) A decision of a mayoral CCA is to be made by a simple majority of the voting members present and voting on that question at a meeting of the CCA; and such a majority must include the mayor, or the deputy mayor acting in place of the mayor. (4) But if— (a) the office of mayor is vacant, and (b) there is no deputy mayor, the decision is to be made by a simple majority of the voting members present and voting on that question at a meeting of the CCA. (5) On a decision of any CCA— (a) each voting member has one vote; (b) in the case of a tied vote— (i) no person has a casting vote; and (ii) the CCA must be regarded as having disagreed to the question that the decision should be made. (6) Subsections (1) to (5) are subject to provision made in any other enactment (whenever passed or made). (7) That includes regulations under this Chapter or under Schedule 27 to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026. (8) In this section “voting member” means— (a) in relation to a decision of a non-mayoral CCA— (i) a person appointed by a constituent council to be a member of the CCA (a “constituent member”) or a person acting as a member of the CCA in the absence of the constituent member, and (ii) a non-constituent member (within the meaning of section 11) who is a voting member in relation to the decision by virtue of a resolution under section 11(4) or a person acting as a member of the CCA in the absence of the non-constituent member; (b) in relation to a decision of a mayoral CCA— (i) a person appointed by a constituent council to be a member of the CCA (a “constituent member”) or a person acting as a member of the CCA in the absence of the constituent member, (ii) a non-constituent member (within the meaning of section 11) who is a voting member in relation to the decision by virtue of a resolution under section 11(4) or a person acting as a member of the CCA in the absence of the non-constituent member, and (iii) the mayor, or the deputy mayor acting in place of the mayor.

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.
