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
31 Consultation with authorities in England.
(1) Where the limits of supply of Scottish Water adjoin any part of England and it appears to Scottish Water that there may be water in watercourses or underground strata in that part of England, or in the limits of supply, which could be transferred from that part of England to the limits of supply, or from the limits of supply to that part of England, as the case may be, Scottish Water shall, insofar as it considers it appropriate to do so, consult with
(a) the water undertakers and other appropriate authorities in that part of England with a view to securing the best use of that water in the public interest ; and
(b) the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
(2) In subsection (1) the reference to water in underground strata shall be construed as a reference to water contained in strata subjacent to the surface of any land otherwise than in a sewer, pipe, reservoir, tank or other underground works constructed in any such strata.

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.
