Forensic Science Regulator Act 2021
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
10 Disclosure by the Regulator
(1) The Regulator may disclose to any other public authority any information received by the Regulator in connection with any of the Regulator's functions if the disclosure is made for the purpose of enabling or assisting the other public authority to discharge any of its functions. (2) A disclosure of information under subsection (1) does not breach— (a) any obligation of confidence owed by the Regulator, or (b) any other restriction on the disclosure of information (however imposed). (3) But subsection (1) does not authorise a disclosure of information that— (a) would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, the power in that subsection is to be taken into account), or (b) would be prohibited by any of Parts 1 to 7 or Chapter 1 of Part 9 of the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. (4) In subsection (3)(a) “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3 of that Act). (5) In this section “public authority” means— (a) any court or tribunal, (b) any constable, (c) any government department, (d) any local authority, (e) any person discharging regulatory functions in relation to any description of activities, and (f) any other person discharging functions of a public nature.

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.
