Environment Act 1995
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.

(4) For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) the day on which a restriction order was refused is— (a) the day on which the magistrates’ court decided not to make a restriction order (except where paragraph (b) applies); (b) the day on which the Crown Court dismissed an appeal against a decision not to make a restriction order. (5) On an application under this section the court may order the payment of compensation by the appropriate agency if it is satisfied— (a) that the applicant has incurred financial loss in consequence of the notice or order, and (b) that having regard to all the circumstances it is appropriate to order payment of compensation in respect of that loss.

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.
