Illegal Migration Act 2023
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
60 Cap on number of entrants using safe and legal routes
(1) The Secretary of State must make regulations specifying the maximum number of persons who may enter the United Kingdom annually using safe and legal routes (see subsection (7)). (2) Before making the regulations the Secretary of State must consult— (a) in England and Wales and Scotland, such representatives of local authorities as the Secretary of State considers appropriate, (b) the Executive Office in Northern Ireland, and (c) such other persons or bodies as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. (3) But the duty to consult does not apply where the Secretary of State considers that the number needs to be changed as a matter of urgency. (4) The Secretary of State must begin the consultation under subsection (2) in relation to the first regulations to be made under this section before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed. (5) If in any year the number of persons who enter the United Kingdom using safe and legal routes exceeds the number specified in the regulations, the Secretary of State must lay a statement before Parliament— (a) setting out the number of persons who have, in that year, entered the United Kingdom using safe and legal routes, and (b) explaining why the number exceeds that specified in the regulations. (6) The statement must be laid before Parliament before the end of the period of six months beginning with the day after the last day of the year to which the statement relates. (7) In this section— “local authority” means— in England and Wales, a county council, a county borough council, a district council, a London borough council, the Common Council of the City of London or the Council of the Isles of Scilly, and in Scotland, a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994; “safe and legal route” means a route specified in regulations made by the Secretary of State.

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.
