Game Laws (Amendment) Act 1960
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
3 Amendment of Poaching Prevention Act, 1862.
(1) The Poaching Prevention Act, 1862, shall be amended as follows. (2) In section two of the said Act (which empowers police constables to search persons suspected of poaching and to seize game, guns and other articles, and provides for their forfeiture) the words “or nets or engines used for the killing or taking game” shall cease to have effect but that section shall apply— (a) in relation to cartridges and other ammunition, and (b) in relation to nets, traps, snares and other devices of a kind used for the killing or taking of game, as it applies in relation to any gun or part of a gun.... (3) Where a person is convicted under the said section two the court convicting him may, if it thinks fit, direct that any game, gun or other article duly seized under that section which was in his possession or which was being carried by him in any cart or other conveyance shall (whether or not the offence of which he was convicted concerned that game, gun or other article) be forfeited.... (4) A person who, by the written direction of a justice of the peace, sells any game seized under the said section two shall not be liable to any penalty for the sale; and if no conviction takes place under that section, the game or other thing seized, or the value thereof, shall be restored to the person from whom it was seized. (5) In this section the word “game” has the same meaning as in the Poaching Prevention Act, 1862.

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.
