The Consular Marriages and Marriages under Foreign Law (No. 2) Order 2014
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
10 Register of marriages
(1) A registration officer for the consular district, nominated by the Secretary of State for these purposes, must maintain a register and therein register the details provided in accordance with article 4(3) of every marriage solemnized in the consular district in accordance with this Order. (2) The entry in the register of every marriage must be signed by the registration officer solemnizing the marriage, by both the parties married and by two witnesses to the marriage. (3) Every nominated registration officer must, at such times as are determined by the Secretary of State, send to the Registrar General for England and Wales a copy of all the entries of marriages in the register kept by the registration officer entered since such details were last sent, and if there has been no such entry, confirmation of that fact. (4) Where the Registrar General for England and Wales receives a copy of an entry of marriage in the register under paragraph (3) in relation to which the parties elected Scotland or Northern Ireland as the relevant part of the United Kingdom for the purposes of the marriage, the Registrar General for England and Wales must send a certified copy of the entry to the Registrar General for Scotland or (as the case may be) the Registrar General for Northern Ireland. (5) Any person shall be entitled, upon payment of a fee, to obtain from the Registrar General for England and Wales or the Registrar General for Scotland or the Registrar General for Northern Ireland, as the case may be, a certified copy of an entry of marriage in the register received under paragraph (3) or (4). (6) The fee payable under paragraph (5) shall be the same fee as is for the time being charged by that Registrar General for the provision of a certified copy of, and any necessary search for, an entry in the records in his custody of marriages performed in England and Wales or Scotland or Northern Ireland, as the case may be.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
