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
31 Dissolution of joint committee
(1) This section applies if a constituent authority requests the Secretary of State to revoke an order constituting a joint committee as the local planning authority for any area or in respect of any matter. (2) The Secretary of State may revoke the order. (3) Any step taken by the joint committee in relation to a local development scheme or a local development document must be treated for the purposes of any corresponding scheme or document 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 order under section 29 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 any time when an independent examination is being carried out in relation to a local development document 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 he may direct that— (a) the examination is resumed in relation to the corresponding document; (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 scheme or document.

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.
