Video Recordings Act 1984
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
16B Extension of jurisdiction of magistrates’ courts in linked cases.
(1) A justice of the peace for an area to which section 1 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 applies may issue a summons or warrant under and in accordance with that section as respects an offence under this Act committed or suspected of having been committed outside the area for which he acts if it appears to the justice that the offence is linked to the supply or possession of video recordings within the area for which he acts. (2) Where a person charged with an offence under this Act appears or is brought before a magistrates’ court in answer to a summons issued by virtue of subsection (1) above, or under a warrant issued under subsection (1) above, the court shall have jurisdiction to try the offence. (3) For the purposes of this section an offence is “linked” to the supply or possession of video recordings within the area for which a justice acts if— (a) the supply or possession of video recordings within his area is likely to be or to have been the result of the offence; or (b) the offence is likely to be or to have been the result of the supply or possession of video recordings in his area.

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.
