Animal Health Act 1981
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
6A Biosecurity guidance
(1) The Secretary of State must prepare guidance on the appropriate biosecurity measures to be taken in relation to— (a) foot-and-mouth disease; (b) such other disease as the Secretary of State by order specifies.

(3) After the Secretary of State has proceeded under subsection (2) he must publish the guidance in such manner as he thinks appropriate. (4) The Secretary of State must from time to time review the guidance and if he thinks it appropriate revise the guidance. (5) Subsections (1) to (3) apply to a revision of the guidance as they apply to its preparation. (6) But if the Secretary of State thinks that it is necessary to revise the guidance urgently he may publish revised guidance without proceeding under subsection (2). (7) Biosecurity measures are measures taken to prevent the spread of causative agents of disease. (8) Causative agent includes any virus, bacterium and any other organism or infectious substance which may cause or transmit disease. (9) The power to make an order must be exercised by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

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.
