Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2005
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.

(1) This section applies if, after the Ombudsman has conducted an investigation into a complaint in respect of a listed authority— (a) he concludes that the person aggrieved has not sustained injustice or hardship in consequence of the matter investigated, and (b) he is satisfied that the public interest does not require sections 16 to 19 to apply. (2) This section also applies if, after the Ombudsman has conducted an investigation into a complaint in respect of a listed authority— (a) he concludes that the person aggrieved has sustained injustice or hardship in consequence of the matter investigated, (b) the listed authority agrees to implement, before the end of the permitted period, any recommendations he makes, and (c) he is satisfied that the public interest does not require sections 16 to 19 to apply. (3) The permitted period is— (a) a period agreed between the Ombudsman, the listed authority and the person who made the complaint, or (b) if the Ombudsman thinks that no such agreement can be reached, the period specified by him in writing. (4) The Ombudsman may decide to prepare a report on his findings under this section instead of under section 16. (5) If the Ombudsman decides to prepare a report under this section— (a) sections 16 to 19 do not apply; (b) he must send a copy of the report to— (i) the person who made the complaint; (ii) the listed authority; (c) he may send a copy of the report to any other persons he thinks appropriate. (6) The Ombudsman may publish a report prepared under this section if, after taking account of the interests of the person aggrieved and any other persons he thinks appropriate, he considers it to be in the public interest to do so. (7) The Ombudsman may supply a copy of a report published under subsection (6), or any part of such a report, to any person who requests it. (8) The Ombudsman may charge a reasonable fee for supplying a copy of a report, or part of a report, under subsection (7). (9) If a report prepared under this section— (a) mentions the name of any person other than the listed authority in respect of which the complaint was made, or (b) includes any particulars which, in the opinion of the Ombudsman, are likely to identify any such person and which, in his opinion, can be omitted without impairing the effectiveness of the report, that information must not be included in a version of the report sent to a person under subsection (5) or published under subsection (6), subject to subsection (10). (10) Subsection (9) does not apply in relation to a version of the report if, after taking account of the interests of the person aggrieved and any other persons he thinks appropriate, the Ombudsman considers it to be in the public interest to include that information in that version of the report.

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.
