Academies Act 2010
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

(1) This section applies if an Academy order has effect in respect of a school. (2) The local authority must cease to maintain the school on the date (“the conversion date”) on which the school, or an educational institution that replaces it, opens as an Academy (“the Academy”). (2A) Subsection (2) does not prohibit the local authority from providing financial or other assistance in respect of the Academy, including by— (a) making payments in respect of some (but not all) of the expenses of maintaining the Academy, (b) providing premises, goods or services for the Academy, or (c) making premises, goods or services available to be used for the purposes of the Academy. (3) If the school is a selective school and is to be converted into an Academy school , section 1A(1)(c) (requirement to provide education for pupils of different abilities) does not apply in relation to any Academy arrangements to be entered into in relation to the school or an educational institution that replaces it. (4) For this purpose a school is a “selective school” if its admission arrangements make provision for selection of pupils by ability, and— (a) its admission arrangements are permitted to do so by section 100 of SSFA 1998 (permitted selection: pre-existing arrangements), or (b) the school is designated under section 104 of SSFA 1998 (designation of grammar schools). Section 99(5) of SSFA 1998 applies for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 3 of SSFA 1998. (5) If the Academy is an Academy school, the relevant independent school standards are to be treated as met in relation to it on the conversion date. (6) “The relevant independent school standards” are the independent school standards (as defined in section 157(2) of EA 2002) that are applicable to the Academy on the conversion date. (7) Subsection (8) applies if the school— (a) is a foundation or voluntary school which is designated by order under section 69(3) of SSFA 1998 as a school having a particular religious character , and (b) is to be converted into an Academy school. (8) The Academy is to be treated, on the conversion date, as designated by order under section 69(3) of SSFA 1998 as an independent school having that religious character.

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.
