Child Support Act 1991
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.
Change 1
28C Imposition of regular payments condition.
(1) Where— (a) an application for a variation is made by the non-resident parent; and (b) the Secretary of State makes an interim maintenance decision, the Secretary of State may also, if the Secretary of State has completed a preliminary consideration (under section 28B) of the application for a variation and has not rejected it under that section, impose on the non-resident parent one of the conditions mentioned in subsection (2) (a “regular payments condition”). (2) The conditions are that— (a) the non-resident parent must make the payments of child support maintenance specified in the interim maintenance decision; (b) the non-resident parent must make such lesser payments of child support maintenance as may be determined in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State. (3) Where the Secretary of State imposes a regular payments condition, the Secretary of State shall give written notice of the imposition of the condition and of the effect of failure to comply with it to— (a) the non-resident parent; (b) all the persons with care concerned; and (c) if the application for the maintenance calculation was made under section 7, the child who made the application. (4) A regular payments condition shall cease to have effect— (a) when the Secretary of State has made a decision on the application for a maintenance calculation under section 11 (whether the Secretary of State agrees to a variation or not); (b) on the withdrawal of the application for a variation. (5) Where a non-resident parent has failed to comply with a regular payments condition, the Secretary of State may in prescribed circumstances refuse to consider the application for a variation, and instead reach a decision under section 11 as if no such application had been made. (6) The question whether a non-resident parent has failed to comply with a regular payments condition is to be determined by the Secretary of State. (7) Where the Secretary of State determines that a non-resident parent has failed to comply with a regular payments condition the Secretary of State shall give written notice of the determination to— (a) that parent; (b) all the persons with care concerned; and (c) if the application for the maintenance calculation was made under section 7, the child who made the application.

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.
