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
As published
220 Insolvency, &c.
(1) Banknote regulations may make provision in connection with the application to an authorised bank of—
(a) the special resolution regime (under Parts 1 to 3), or
(b) a provision about insolvency within the meaning of section 217(6).
(2) The regulations may, in particular—
(a) provide for the destruction of banknotes which have not been issued;
(b) provide for the destruction of banknotes which have been exchanged in accordance with section 217(5)(c);
(c) extinguish a claim to or interest in un-issued or exchanged banknotes.
(3) A right to rely on section 213 cannot be transferred by or acquired from an authorised bank (and, in particular, cannot be acquired by virtue of or in connection with anything done under Part 1).
(4) The fact that an authorised bank is taken into temporary public ownership in accordance with section 13 does not itself prevent the bank from relying on section 213.
(4A) The fact that ownership of an authorised bank is transferred or otherwise changed as a result of a resolution instrument (or an instrument treated as a resolution instrument) does not itself prevent the bank from relying on section 213.
(5) If an authorised bank enters insolvency (within the meaning of section 217(6)) it loses the right to rely on section 213.
(6) Transitional provision of banknote regulations (included in reliance on section 259(1)(c)) may include provision for a case where a bank loses the right to rely on section 213; in particular, the regulations may allow the bank to rely on the section for a specified transitional period or in respect of a specified class of transitional case.
(7) A reference in this section to the special resolution regime includes a reference to any provision of the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom which the Treasury identifies, in banknote regulations, as serving a similar purpose.

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.
