The Adoption Information and Intermediary Services (Pre-Commencement Adoptions) (Amendment) Regulations 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.

After regulation 5 (applications that may be accepted) insert— Restrictions on proceeding with an application 5A.

(2) Where an intermediary agency accepts an application from a relative of an adopted person for assistance in contacting a person with a prescribed relationship to the adopted person, it must not proceed with an application if— (a) a veto applies under regulation 8(1), except in the circumstances referred to in regulation 8(1)(b)(ii); or (b) the adopted person does not consent to the application proceeding.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
