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
44 Jurisdiction.
(1) The Secretary of State shall have jurisdiction to make a maintenance calculation with respect to a person who is— (a) a person with care; (b) a non-resident parent; or (c) a qualifying child, only if that person is habitually resident in the United Kingdom, except in the case of a non-resident parent who falls within subsection (2A). (2) Where the person with care is not an individual, subsection (1) shall have effect as if paragraph (a) were omitted. (2A) A non-resident parent falls within this subsection if he is not habitually resident in the United Kingdom, but is— (a) employed in the civil service of the Crown, including Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Service and Her Majesty’s Overseas Civil Service; (b) a member of the naval, military or air forces of the Crown, including any person employed by an association established for the purposes of Part XI of the Reserve Forces Act 1996; (c) employed by a company of a prescribed description registered under the Companies Act 2006; or (d) employed by a body of a prescribed description.

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.
