Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022
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.

40 Sharing of information by HMRC
(1) The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs may disclose information to the Secretary of State ... for the purpose of the taking of action in connection with an offence under this Part.

(3) A person who receives information as a result of this section— (a) may not use the information other than for the purpose of the taking of action in connection with an offence under this Part; (b) may not further disclose the information unless the disclosure is necessary for the taking of action in connection with an offence under this Part. (4) It is an offence for a person to disclose, in contravention of subsection (3)(b), any revenue and customs information relating to a person whose identity— (a) is specified in the disclosure, or (b) can be deduced from it. (5) It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under subsection (4) to prove that the person reasonably believed— (a) that the disclosure was lawful, or (b) that the information had already lawfully been made available to the public. (6) Subsections (4) to (7) of section 19 of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 apply to an offence under subsection (4) as they apply to an offence under that section. (7) In this section “revenue and customs information relating to a person” has the same meaning as in section 19 of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (see section 19(2) of that Act).

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.
