Dangerous Vessels Act 1985
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.

2 Application of Merchant Shipping (Liability of Shipowners and Others) Act 1900.
Where— (a) a harbour authority is liable for any loss or damage occurring outside the harbour of that authority in consequence of directions given by a harbour master in purported exercise of his powers under section 1 above; and (b) the provisions of the section 191 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (which limits the liability of harbour, conservancy, dock and canal authorities) would apply so as to limit that liability if the loss or damage in question had occurred in that harbour; then, for the purposes of that Act, that loss or damage shall be deemed to have occurred in that harbour.

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.
