Childcare Payments Act 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
17 Opening a childcare account
(1) A person who wishes to receive top-up payments (the “applicant”) must make an application to HMRC to open a childcare account. (2) HMRC may grant the application only if— (a) the applicant has made a valid declaration of eligibility, (b) the child in respect of whom the account is to be held (“the relevant child”) is a qualifying child at the date of the application, and (c) on the day on which the application is granted, there is no other person who holds an active childcare account in respect of the relevant child (see subsection (3)). (3) For the purposes of this Act a childcare account is “active” at any time if— (a) qualifying payments may be made into the account at that time (see section 19), or (b) such payments could, in the absence of section 19(4) (limit on amount of qualifying payments that may be made in entitlement period), be made into the account at that time. (4) Regulations may make further provision about opening a childcare account, including, in particular— (a) provision about the making of applications to open a childcare account, including provision enabling HMRC to specify the form and manner in which such applications may be made; (b) provision specifying, or enabling HMRC to specify, information which applicants must provide to specified persons or to persons of a specified description; (c) provision specifying circumstances in which a person, or a person of a specified description, may make an application to open a childcare account on behalf of an applicant, including provision enabling HMRC to appoint a person for that purpose; (d) provision requiring HMRC to provide specified information to specified persons or to persons of a specified description. (5) In subsection (4) “specified” means specified in the regulations.

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.
