Essential Commodities Reserves Act 1938
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
6 Interpretation.
In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the following expressions have the meanings hereby respectively assigned to them, that is to say,— “Essential commodity” means any commodity described in the Schedule to this Act which may be declared by order of the Board of Trade to be a commodity which in the opinion of the Board would be essential for the vital needs of the community in the event of war; “Food” has the same meaning as in the Food and Drugs Act 1955 and the Food and Drugs (Scotland) Act 1956; “Forage” includes all feeding stuffs for animals, whether natural, artificial, dried, or undried; “Trader”, in relation to an essential commodity, means any person who for the purposes of any trade or business carried on by him (whether as a producer, merchant, broker, warehouseman, or otherwise) holds from time to time a stock of that commodity.

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.
