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.

As published
73 Delegation of certain administrative functions of Master of the Rolls.
(1) Where the Master of the Rolls expects to be absent at a time when it may be appropriate for any relevant functions of his to be exercised, he may appoint a judge of the Senior Courts to exercise those functions on his behalf.
(2) Where the Master of the Rolls considers that it would be inappropriate for him to exercise any such functions in connection with a particular matter (because of a possible conflict of interests or for any other reason), he may appoint a judge of the Senior Courts to exercise those functions on his behalf in connection with that matter.
(3) Where the Master of the Rolls is incapable of exercising his relevant functions, the Lord Chief Justice may, with the concurrence of the Lord Chancellor, appoint a judge of the Senior Courts to exercise, on behalf of the Master of the Rolls, such of those functions as the Lord Chief Justice and Lord Chancellor consider appropriate.
(4) Any appointment under this section shall be in writing and shall specify—

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.
