Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act 1951 (repealed 6.1.1997)
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
SCHEDULE Taking of Samples from Filling Materials in Articles
Section 14. 1 For the purpose of taking samples from any article in pursuance of the powers conferred on him by this Act, an authorised officer of a local authority may open up any covering or do any other thing necessary to get access to the filling materials. 2 After taking any steps under the foregoing paragraph, the authorised officer shall make such arrangements as appear to him to be reasonable for repairing the article or for a payment by the local authority to the owner of the article for having the article repaired. 3 Unless some person is convicted under this Act on the ground that the article is not clean, the local authority shall pay to the owner of the article a sum representing the diminution (if any) in value of the article consequent on the exercise of the powers conferred by this Act. 4 Any dispute as to whether any and if so what sum is due under the last foregoing paragraph of this Schedule shall be referred to and determined by the county court, or, in Scotland, the sheriff.

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.
