Immigration Act 1971
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
11C Electronic travel authorisations
(1) In this Act, “an ETA” means an authorisation in electronic form to travel to the United Kingdom. (2) Immigration rules may require an individual of a description specified in the rules not to travel to the United Kingdom from any place (including a place in the common travel area), whether with a view to entering the United Kingdom or to passing through it without entering, unless the individual has an ETA that is valid for the individual’s journey to the United Kingdom. (3) The rules may not impose this requirement on an individual if— (a) the individual is a British citizen, or (b) the individual would, on arrival in the United Kingdom, be entitled to enter without leave. (4) In relation to an individual travelling to the United Kingdom on a local journey from a place in the common travel area, subsection (3)(b) applies only if the individual would also be entitled to enter without leave if the journey were instead from a place outside the common travel area. (5) The rules may impose the requirement mentioned in subsection (2) on an individual who— (a) travels to the United Kingdom on a local journey from a place in any of the Islands, and (b) has leave to enter or remain in that island, only if it appears to the Secretary of State necessary to do so by reason of differences between the immigration laws of the United Kingdom and that island. (6) The rules must— (a) provide for the form or manner in which an application for an ETA may be made, granted or refused; (b) specify the conditions (if any) which must be met before an application for an ETA may be granted; (c) specify the grounds on which an application for an ETA must or may be refused; (d) specify the criteria to be applied in determining— (i) the period for which an ETA is valid; (ii) the number of journeys to the United Kingdom during that period for which it is valid (which may be unlimited); (e) require an ETA to include provision setting out the matters mentioned in paragraph (d)(i) and (ii); (f) provide for the form or manner in which an ETA may be varied or cancelled; (g) specify the grounds on which an ETA must or may be varied or cancelled. (7) The rules may also— (a) provide for exceptions to the requirement described in subsection (2), and (b) make other provision relating to ETAs. (8) Rules made by virtue of this section may make different provision for different cases or descriptions of case.

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.
