The Rother Valley Railway (Bodiam to Robertsbridge Junction) Order 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
33 Removal of obstructions
(1) If any obstruction is caused to trains using the railway by a vehicle waiting, unloading, or breaking down on any part of the railway, the person in charge of the vehicle must immediately remove it and if that person fails to do so, the Company may take all reasonable steps to remove the obstruction and may recover the expenses reasonably incurred in doing so from— (a) any person by whom the vehicle was put or left so as to become an obstruction to trains, or (b) any person who was the owner of the vehicle at that time unless that person shows that, at that time, the person was not concerned in or aware of the vehicle being so put or left. (2) If any obstruction is caused to trains using the railway by a load falling onto the railway from a vehicle, the person in charge of the vehicle must immediately remove the load from the railway, and if that person fails to do so, the Company may take all reasonable steps to remove the load and may recover the expenses reasonably incurred in doing so from— (a) any person who was in charge of the vehicle at the time the load fell from it; or (b) any person who was the owner of the vehicle at that time unless that person shows that, at that time, the person was not concerned in, or aware of, the vehicle being in the place at which the load fell from it. (3) For the purposes of this article the owner of a vehicle is the person by whom the vehicle is kept and in determining for those purposes who was the owner of a vehicle at any time, it will be presumed, unless the contrary appears, that the owner was the person in whose name the vehicle was at that time registered under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
