Government of Wales Act 2006
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.

(d) a Welsh rate for the purpose of calculating the Welsh property basic rate; (e) a Welsh rate for the purpose of calculating the Welsh property higher rate; (f) a Welsh rate for the purpose of calculating the Welsh property additional rate.

(3) A Welsh rate resolution applies— (a) for only one tax year, and (b) for the whole of that year. (4) Any Welsh rate specified must be a whole number or half a whole number. (5) A Welsh rate resolution— (a) must specify the tax year for which it applies, (b) must be made before the start of that tax year, and (c) must not be made more than 12 months before the start of that year. (6) If a Welsh rate resolution is cancelled before the start of the tax year for which it is to apply— (a) the Income Tax Acts have effect for that year as if the resolution had never been made, and (b) the resolution may be replaced by another Welsh rate resolution. (7) The standing orders must provide that only the First Minister or a Welsh Minister appointed under section 48 may move a motion for a Welsh rate resolution.

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.
