Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act 1951 (repealed 6.1.1997)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.

7 Licensing of premises for storing rag flock.
(1) A local authority on receiving from the occupier of, or a person proposing to occupy, any premises within their area an application for the grant or renewal of a licence authorising him to store rag flock on those premises for use on premises registered under this Act and a fee of such reasonable amount as the authority may determine, may grant or renew to him a licence in respect of those premises. (2) The local authority shall not grant a licence under this section, otherwise than by way of renewal of an existing licence, until an officer of the authority has inspected the premises named in the application and has made a report thereon. (3) The local authority shall not refuse to grant or renew a licence under this section except where the premises are only part of a building and it appears to the authority that any business carried on in the remainder of the building on premises not licensed or registered under this Act involves or may involve the use or keeping or manufacture of rag flock. (4) If a local authority refuse to grant or renew a licence under this section, they shall forthwith give notice to the applicant of their decision in the matter, and shall, if so required by him within fourteen days of service on him of notice of their decision give to him within forty-eight hours a statement of the grounds on which it was based. (5), (6) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (7) A licence under this section shall remain in force for such period not exceeding twelve months as may be fixed by the local authority, but may from time to time be renewed by them for a period not exceeding twelve months at any one time. (8) If on premises licensed under this section there is rag flock which is not clean, the occupier of the premises shall be guilty of an offence. (9) If any proceedings under the last foregoing subsection it shall be a defence for the defendant to prove— (a) that he purchased the rag flock to which the proceedings relate as coming from premises licensed under this Act or as being clean within the meaning of this Act and, in either case, with a written warranty to that effect; and (b) that he had no reason to believe at the time of the alleged offence that the rag flock came from some other place or, as the case may be, that it was not clean; and (c) that, in either case, at the time of the alleged offence the rag flock was in the same state as when he purchased it.

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.
