Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988
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
15A Coterminous pistol club licences and rifle club approvals.
(1) Where an application is made on behalf of a club which is approved under section 15 above for the grant or renewal of a pistol club licence, the officer of the club making the application may also apply for the club’s approval to be withdrawn and replaced by a new approval taking effect on the same day as that on which the licence is granted or renewed. (2) Where an application is made on behalf of a club which has a pistol club licence for the grant or renewal of approval under section 15 above, that approval may, if the club so requests, be granted or renewed for such period less than six years as will secure that it expires at the same time as the licence. (3) The fee payable on the grant or renewal of an approval which— (a) takes effect, whether by virtue of subsection (1) above or otherwise, at the same time as a pistol club licence granted or renewed in respect of that club, or (b) is granted or renewed by virtue of subsection (2) above for a period less than six years, shall be £21 instead of that specified in section 15(6) above. This subsection shall be included in the provisions that may be amended by an order under section 43 of the principal Act. (4) In this section “ pistol club licence ” means a licence under section 21 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997.

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.
