Guardianship Act 1973 (repealed 1.11.1996)
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.

3 Additional provisions as to supervision orders.
(1) Where the court makes an order under section 2(2)(a) above (in this section referred to as a “supervision order”), and the order provides for supervision by a probation officer, then— (a) if it is an order of the High Court, the officer responsible for carrying out the order shall be such probation officer as may be selected under arrangements made by the Secretary of State; and (b) in any other case the order shall be for supervision by a probation officer appointed for or assigned to the petty sessions area in which, in the opinion of the court, the child is or will be resident, and the officer responsible for carrying out the order shall be selected in like manner as if the order were a probation order. (2) A supervision order shall cease to have effect when the child attains the age of 18 . . . (a) the order may direct that it is to cease to have effect if for a period of three months after it is made they continue to reside together; and (b) the order (whether or not it includes a direction under paragraph (a) above) may direct that it is not to operate while they are residing together. (3) A supervision order may be varied or discharged by a subsequent order made on the application of either parent or after the death of either parent, on the application of any guardian under the Guardianship of Minors Act 1971, . . . or on that of the probation officer or local authority having the supervision of the child by virtue of the order; and section 16 of that Act shall have effect in relation to applications under this subsection as it has effect in relation to applications under that Act, . . . . (4) Without prejudice to subsection (3) above, in relation to supervision orders of magistrates’ courts the rules made under section 144 of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 may make provision for substituting from time to time a probation officer appointed for or assigned to a different petty sessions area or, as the case may be, a different local authority, if in the opinion of the court the child is or will be resident in that petty sessions area or, as the case may be, in the area of that authority.

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.
