Public Utilities Street Works Act 1950 (repealed 1.1.1993)
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.

30 Provisions as to enforcement.
(1) Any provision of this Act creating a liability to a fine for breach of any obligation shall be without prejudice to any liability in civil proceedings for that breach. (2) Subject to subsection (2A) of this section, proceedings for an offence under any provision of this Act creating a liability to a fine for breach of any obligation shall not, without the written consent of the Attorney General, be taken by any person other than an authority, body or person having an interest in the performance of the obligation. (2A) A constable may take proceedings for an offence under section 8 of this Act without the consent of the Attorney General. (3) The provisions of this Act creating a liability to a fine for breach of any obligation shall not apply to any obligation in so far as it falls to be performed by any authority, body or person on behalf of the Crown. (4) Any obligation imposed by this Act to execute works (including an obligation to carry out reinstatement and making good) shall be treated as an obligation to begin the works as soon as is reasonably practicable after the time when the obligation arises and thereafter to carry on and complete them with all such dispatch as is reasonably practicable; and, if a failure to execute works in accordance with such an obligation is continued after conviction of the authority, body or person who are or is subject thereto of an offence in respect of the failure, they or he shall be guilty of a further offence.

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.
