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
79 Compensation and charges where drought order made.
(1) Schedule 9 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the payment of compensation where a drought order has been made. (2) Except as provided by Schedule 9 to this Act, neither the appropriate agency nor any water undertaker or sewerage undertaker shall incur any liability to any person for loss or damage sustained by reason of anything done in pursuance of any drought order or of any omission in pursuance of such an order. (3) Nothing in any drought order shall affect the right of the appropriate agency, a water undertaker or a sewerage undertaker, in the event of an interruption or diminution of the supply of water, to recover any fixed or minimum charge which might have been recovered from any person by the appropriate agency or that undertaker if there had been no such interruption or diminution. (4) Where a water undertaker makes an application for a drought order, the appropriate agency may recover from the water undertaker any expenses it incurs (whether of a revenue or capital nature)— (a) in connection with any local inquiry held in respect of the application; (b) in the exercise of the appropriate agency's functions so far as their exercise is attributable to the application and (if the order is made) to the order, in so far as those expenses have not been recovered (whether from the water undertaker or not) under or by virtue of any other enactment. (5) Sections 125 to 129 below shall not apply in respect of any charges which may be made under subsection (4) above.

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.
