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.

81 Complaints by members of friendly societies.
(1) Nothing in section 80 above shall affect the power of a friendly society or registered branch—
(a) to establish internal procedures for the resolution of complaints; or
(b) to make, to join with any other persons in making, or to accede to, schemes for the investigation and settlement by an adjudicator of complaints;
but a society or branch may not prevent a member from referring any dispute to arbitration under that section by purporting to require instead the making of a complaint or the acceptance of any determination of a complaint.
(2) The FCA shall have the function of promoting the establishment by friendly societies and registered branches of—
(a) internal complaints procedures; and
(b) schemes for the investigation and settlement of complaints;
and, in particular, the FCA may issue such guidance on those matters to friendly societies and registered branches as it thinks fit.
(3) In this section—
“accede”, in relation to a scheme, means assume the obligations and rights of membership of the scheme;
“complaint” includes any complaint made by a member about action of a friendly society or branch which constitutes (in relation to that member) unfair treatment, maladministration or breach of any contractual or other duty and causes him pecuniary loss or inconvenience;
“member” in relation to a friendly society or branch includes any person who is or was a member of the society or branch or is claiming through a member or under the rules; and
“action” includes omissions.

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.
