Presumption of Death Act 2013
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
3 Effect of declaration
(1) A declaration under this Act is conclusive of— (a) the missing person's presumed death, and (b) the date and time of the death. (2) A declaration under this Act is effective against all persons and for all purposes, including for the purposes of— (a) the acquisition of an interest in any property, and (b) the ending of a marriage or civil partnership to which the missing person is a party. (3) But subsections (1) and (2) apply to a declaration only if— (a) it has not been appealed against and the period for bringing an appeal has ended, or (b) it has been appealed against and the appeal (and any further appeal) has been unsuccessful. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), an appeal has been unsuccessful if— (a) it has been dismissed or withdrawn, and (b) any period for bringing a further appeal has ended.

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.
