Water Resources Act 1991
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
143 Power of appropriate agency to levy navigation tolls.
(1) Where any navigable waters— (a) in England and Wales; or (b) in so much of the territorial sea adjacent to England and Wales as is included in a flood risk management region, are not subject to the control of any navigation authority, harbour authority or conservancy authority, the appropriate agency may apply to the Secretary of State for an order imposing tolls in respect of the navigation of vessels in those waters. (2) An order under this section shall not be made unless the Secretary of State is satisfied that the cost of the maintenance or works in connection with the waters to which the order relates has been or will be increased as a result of the use of those waters for purposes of navigation. (3) Schedule 17 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the making of orders under this section. (4) Any tolls payable under this section in respect of the navigation of a vessel in any water referred to in subsection (1) above— (a) may be demanded from the person in charge of the vessel by any person authorised for that purpose by the appropriate agency; and (b) if not paid on demand, may be recovered from either the person in charge of the vessel or the owner of the vessel.

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.
