Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
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
15JB Dissolution of joint committee
(1) This section applies if a constituent authority requests the Secretary of State to revoke regulations constituting a joint committee as the local planning authority for any area or in respect of any purpose. (2) The Secretary of State may revoke the regulations. (3) If the Secretary of State does so, any step taken by the joint committee in relation to a local plan timetable, local plan or supplementary plan must be treated for the purposes of any corresponding timetable or plan as a step taken by a successor authority. (4) A successor authority is— (a) a local planning authority which were a constituent authority of the joint committee; (b) a joint committee constituted by regulations under section 15J for an area which does not include an area which was not part of the area of the joint committee mentioned in subsection (1). (5) If the revocation takes effect at a time when an independent examination is being carried out in relation to a local plan or supplementary plan in relation to which the joint committee is the local planning authority the examination must be suspended. (6) But if, before the end of the period prescribed for the purposes of this subsection, a successor authority falling within subsection (4)(a) requests the Secretary of State to do so, the Secretary of State may direct that— (a) the examination is resumed in relation to the corresponding plan; (b) any step taken for the purposes of the suspended examination has effect for the purposes of the resumed examination. (7) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision as to what is a corresponding timetable or plan.

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.
