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.

17 Restrictions on accounts
(1) A bank which has received a pre-deduction notice which requires it to take one of the steps set out in paragraph 11(1)(a) to (b) of Schedule 3ZA (restrictions on accounts) must— (a) comply with the requirement in paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA— (i) before 5.00 p.m. on the second working day beginning with the day after the day on which the pre-deduction notice was given to the bank, or (ii) if the bank intends (for any reason) to notify any account holder that it has received or complied with any notice or order under Schedule 3ZA before the time in paragraph (i), before notifying the account holder, and (b) give the Secretary of State a notice as to whether it has complied with paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA and, if so, state the amount secured under paragraph 11(1)(a) of Schedule 3ZA or transferred to the hold account under paragraph 11(2) of Schedule 3ZA (whichever the case may be), before the earlier of— (i) 5.00 p.m. on the fifth working day beginning on the day after the day on which the bank complied with the requirements under paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA, or (ii) 5.00 p.m. on the seventh working day beginning on the day after the day on which the pre-deduction notice was given to the bank.

(3) For the purposes of paragraph 11(5) of Schedule 3ZA, a bank must treat a pre-deduction variation notice as a notice that no direct deduction order will be made in relation to the first pre-deduction notice given to it. (4) In a pre-deduction variation notice, the specified amount must be lower than the specified amount in the first pre-deduction notice. (5) Where a bank is given a pre-deduction variation notice, it must before 5.00 p.m. on the second working day beginning with the day after the day the pre-deduction variation notice was given— (a) cease any action taken to comply with paragraph 11(1)(a) of Schedule 3ZA in respect of the specified amount in the first pre-deduction notice, and at the same time (or immediately after) comply with paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA in respect of the specified amount in the pre-deduction variation notice, or (b) where the bank took the action set out in paragraph 11(2) of Schedule 3ZA in respect of the first pre-deduction notice— (i) transfer the amount held in the hold account, less the amount specified in the pre-deduction variation notice, to the account specified in the first pre-deduction notice, and (ii) immediately thereafter comply with paragraph 11(2)(b) of Schedule 3ZA, in compliance with the requirement imposed by paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA as a result of having been given the pre-deduction variation notice. (6) Where a bank has been given a pre-deduction variation notice, it must notify the Secretary of State whether it has complied with the pre-deduction variation notice before the earlier of— (a) 5.00 p.m. on the fifth working day beginning with the day after the day on which the bank complied with the pre-deduction variation notice, or (b) 5.00 p.m. on the seventh working day beginning with the day after the day on which the pre-deduction variation notice was given to the bank. (7) Where the bank has been notified of a decision not to make a direct deduction order under paragraph 11(5)(a) of Schedule 3ZA, the bank must notify the Secretary of State when it has ceased any action taken to comply with paragraph 11(1) of Schedule 3ZA.

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.
