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.

32H Orders under section 32F: deductions and payments
(1) Once the relevant period has ended, an order under section 32F which specifies an account held with a deposit-taker shall operate as an instruction to the deposit-taker— (a) if the amount standing to the credit of the account is less than the remaining amount, to pay to the Secretary of State the amount standing to the credit of the account; and (b) otherwise, to deduct from the account and pay to the Secretary of State the remaining amount. (2) If an amount of arrears specified in the order remains unpaid after any payment required by subsection (1) has been made, the order shall operate until the relevant time as an instruction to the deposit-taker— (a) to pay to the Secretary of State any amount (not exceeding the remaining amount) standing to the credit of the account specified in the order; and (b) not to do anything else that would reduce the amount standing to the credit of the account. (3) Once the relevant period has ended, any other order under section 32F shall operate as an instruction to the third party at which it is directed— (a) if the amount due to the liable person is less than the remaining amount, to pay to the Secretary of State the amount due to the liable person; and (b) otherwise, to deduct from the amount due to the liable person and pay to the Secretary of State the remaining amount. (4) If an amount of arrears specified in the order remains unpaid after any payment required by subsection (3) has been made, the order shall operate until the relevant time as an instruction to the third party— (a) to pay to the Secretary of State any amount (not exceeding the remaining amount) due to the liable person; and (b) not to do anything else that would reduce any amount due to the liable person. (5) This section has effect subject to regulations made under sections 32I(1) and 32J(2)(c). (6) In this section— “the relevant time” means the earliest of the following— the time at which the remaining amount is paid; the time at which the order lapses or is discharged; and the time at which a prescribed event occurs or prescribed circumstances arise; “the remaining amount”, in relation to any time, means the amount of arrears specified in the order under section 32F which remains unpaid at that time.

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.
