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.

(a) a market investigation reference has been made;

(c) the market investigation reference concerned is not finally determined.
(2) The relevant authority may by order, for the purpose of preventing pre-emptive action—
(a) prohibit or restrict the doing of things which the relevant authority considers would constitute pre-emptive action;
(b) impose on any person concerned obligations as to the carrying on of any activities or the safeguarding of any assets;
(c) provide for the carrying on of any activities or the safeguarding of any assets either by the appointment of a person to conduct or supervise the conduct of any activities (on such terms and with such powers as may be specified or described in the order) or in any other manner;

(a) do anything mentioned in subsection (2)(b) to (d);
(b) impose such other obligations, prohibitions or restrictions as it considers appropriate for that purpose.
(2C) A person may, with the consent of the relevant authority, take action of a particular description where the action would otherwise constitute a contravention of an undertaking accepted under this section.

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.
