The Armed Forces (Terms of Service) (Amendment) Regulations 2014
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
8 The RM Regulations
For regulation 8 substitute— 8. (1) This paragraph applies to— (a) any person entered for a term of service in the Royal Marines which began before the commencement of these Regulations, and (b) any person enlisted in the Royal Marines in accordance with regulation 3(1). (2) If a person to whom paragraph (1) applies reaches the substantive rate of Corporal (RM), that person’s term of service is automatically extended to either— (a) a period of 20 years from the date of their entry into service or enlistment (as the case may be), or (b) that person’s 40th birthday, whichever is the later. (3) A person— (a) to whom paragraph (1) applies, or (b) whose term of service has been automatically extended under paragraph (2), or (c) whose service has previously been extended for a period under paragraph (4), may, at any time, give to that person’s commanding officer notice in writing of that person’s desire to continue to serve in the Royal Marines. (4) Where notice is given under paragraph (3), the competent authority may extend that person’s service for a specified period. (5) Subject to paragraph (7), a person whose term of service has been automatically extended under paragraph (2), or extended under paragraph (4), may at any time give notice in writing to that person’s commanding officer of that person’s desire to be discharged. (6) If a person gives notice under paragraph (5), that person is discharged 12 months after the date that the notice is given. (7) A person who consents in writing to forgo the right conferred by paragraph (5) in consideration of being permitted to undergo a course of instruction or receive any other benefit or advantage may not give notice under paragraph (5) before the expiration of a period to be specified in the written consent.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
