(4) The SSRO must, on an application by a person within section 16(5) in relation to a qualifying defence contract, or a component of such a contract, which has been priced using an alternative pricing method (“the applicable pricing method”)— (a) determine whether the price of that contract or a component has been properly determined in accordance with the applicable pricing method; and (b) if the price was not properly determined, determine as nearly as possible what the price of the contract or component would have been if the price were properly determined in accordance with the applicable pricing method.

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.
