Enterprise Act 2002
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
137 Time-limits for market investigations and reports
(1) The CMA shall prepare and publish its report under section 136 within the period of 18 months beginning with the date of the market investigation reference concerned. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 151(3) and (5). (2A) The CMA may extend, by no more than 6 months, the period within which its report under section 136 is to be prepared and published if it considers that there are special reasons for doing so. (2B) An extension under subsection (2A) shall come into force when published under section 172. (2C) No more than one extension is possible under subsection (2A). (3) The Secretary of State may by order amend this section so as to alter one or more of the following periods— (a) the period of 18 months mentioned in subsection (1) or any period for the time being there mentioned in substitution for that period; (b) the period of 6 months mentioned in subsection (2A) or any period for the time being there mentioned in substitution for that period. (4) But no alteration shall be made by virtue of subsection (3) which results in— (a) the period for the time being mentioned in subsection (1) exceeding 18 months; or (b) the period for the time being mentioned in subsection (2A) exceeding 6 months. (5) An order under subsection (3) shall not affect any period of time within which the CMA is under a duty to prepare and publish its report under section 136 in relation to a market investigation reference if the CMA is already under that duty in relation to that reference when the order is made. (6) Before making an order under subsection (3) the Secretary of State shall consult the CMA and such other persons as he considers appropriate. (7) References in this Part to the date of a market investigation reference shall be construed as references to the date specified in the reference as the date on which it is made.

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.
