The School and Early Years Finance (England) Regulations 2025
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
38 12% early years discretionary funding cap
(1) A local authority must ensure that the total amount of discretionary funding in relation to each relevant group (calculated separately for each) does not exceed 12% of early years allocations in respect of that relevant group. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), “discretionary funding” means funding in respect of a relevant group that is attributable to— (a) the factors based on the incidence of social deprivation in pupils or children referred to in regulation 33 (social deprivation for early years); and (b) the criteria set out in regulation 39(2) (additional criteria and disadvantaged two year olds requirement: early years) which by virtue of regulation 39(1) a local authority may take into account in its formula. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), “early years allocations” means the total amount of the following budget shares and amounts allocated in relation to each of the relevant groups, determined by the local authority under regulation 11(9)— (a) the budget shares for nursery schools maintained by the local authority; (b) the amounts to be allocated in respect of nursery classes in schools maintained by it; (c) the amounts to be allocated to relevant early years providers in its area; and (d) the amounts to be allocated in respect of community early years provision in schools maintained by it, excluding any of the amounts specified in paragraph (4). (4) The amounts are— (a) where a calculation is made in respect of three and four year olds, the maintained nursery school supplement; (b) any amount included in accordance with regulation 34(1) or (6) (early years pupil premium) in respect of the relevant group for which the calculation is being made; (c) any amount included in accordance with regulation 35(1) (disability access fund) in respect of the relevant group for which the calculation is being made; (d) any amount included in accordance with regulation 39(4) (additional criteria and disadvantaged two year olds requirement: early years).

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.
