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
71 Other offences as to licences.
A person is guilty of an offence against this Act—
(a) who, with intent unlawfully to evade this Act, or an order of the Minister, or a regulation of a local authority, does anything for which a licence is requisite under this Act, or such an order or regulation, without having obtained a licence; or
(b) who, where a licence is so requisite, having obtained a licence, with the like intent does the thing licensed after the licence has expired; or
(c) who uses or offers or attempts to use as such a licence—
(i) an instrument not being a complete licence, or
(ii) an instrument untruly purporting or appearing to be a licence,
unless he shows to the court’s satisfaction that he did not know of that incompleteness or untruth, and that he could not with reasonable diligence have obtained knowledge of 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.
