Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014
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
32B Independence requirement
(1) A person (“P”) may not act as a local auditor if any of subsections (2), (4), (5) or (6) applies in relation to P and the relevant authority whose accounts are to be audited. (2) This subsection applies if— (a) P is a member or officer of the relevant authority, (b) where the relevant authority is a corporation sole, P is the holder of that office, (c) P is a partner or employee of a person within paragraph (a) or (b), or (d) P is a partnership of which a person within paragraph (a) or (b) is a partner. (3) In relation to a relevant authority that is an integrated care board, subsection (2)(a) has effect as if “or officer” were omitted. (4) This subsection applies if— (a) the relevant authority is an NHS trust, and (b) P is a director of that NHS trust. (5) This subsection applies if P is— (a) a person elected or appointed— (i) as an entity connected with the relevant authority, (ii) to such an entity, or (iii) to an office of such an entity, (b) an employee of such an entity, (c) a partner or employee of a person within paragraph (a) or (b), or (d) a partnership of which a person within paragraph (a) or (b) is a partner. (6) This subsection applies if there exists a connection of a prescribed description between P and the relevant authority. (7) In subsection (6), “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State. (8) A description of connection prescribed under subsection (6) may be direct or indirect (and so may involve, for instance, chains of connection leading from the relevant authority to P by way of one or more interposed persons).

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.
