Protection of Animals (Cruelty To Dogs) Act 1933
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
1 Power to disqualify persons convicted of cruelty to dogs.
(1) Any court before which a person is convicted under the Protection of Animals Act, 1911, of an offence of cruelty to a dog may order him to be disqualified for keeping a dog and for holding or obtaining a dog licence for such period as the court thinks fit. (2) A person who by virtue of any such order is so disqualified as aforesaid may appeal against the order in the same manner as against a conviction, and the court may, if it thinks fit, pending the appeal, suspend the operation of the order. (3) Where a person who is disqualified by virtue of an order under this section is the holder of a dog licence, the licence shall be suspended so long as the disqualification continues in place and shall, during the time of suspension, be of no effect. (4) If any person who is disqualified by virtue of an order under this section keeps a dog or applies for or obtains a dog licence while he is so disqualified, he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty-five pounds or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to both such fine and imprisonment.

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.
