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
41 Secretary of State’s power to call in applications
(1) The Secretary of State may give directions to the appropriate agency requiring applications for licences under this Chapter to be referred to him, instead of being dealt with by the appropriate agency. (2) A direction under this section— (a) may relate either to a particular application or to applications of a class specified in the direction; and (b) may except from the operation of the direction such classes of applications as may be specified in the direction in such circumstances as may be so specified. (3) An application may not be referred to the Secretary of State under this section— (a) if in relation to the application the appropriate agency is still considering whether to make any such decision as is referred to in subsection (1) of section 36A above, or if it has made such a decision but has not yet served the notice referred to in subsection (3) of that section; or (b) where the appropriate agency has served a notice on the applicant under subsection (3) of that section, until the period for appealing under that section has expired or (if the applicant appeals) the appeal has been determined.

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.
