Sustainable Communities Act 2007
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
2 Proposals by local authorities
(1) The Secretary of State must invite local authorities to make proposals which they consider would contribute to promoting the sustainability of local communities. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), a proposal may include a request for a transfer of functions from one person to another. (3) A local authority may not include a request under subsection (2) unless it has consulted— (a) the person whose functions it relates to, and (b) the person to whom the local authority considers the functions should be transferred. (4) A local authority must have regard to the matters specified in the Schedule before making a proposal. (5) The Secretary of State must issue the first invitation under this section within the period of one year beginning with the day on which this Act is passed.

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.
