6 Charities running charitable activities in more than one community building
(1) This section determines the specified amount for the purposes of section 1(4) for a charity that runs charitable activities in more than one community building in a tax year (see sections 7 and 8 for the meaning of certain terms used in this section). (2) The specified amount for the charity for the tax year is— (a) £8,000, or (b) if more, an amount equal to the sum of the amounts which, for each community building in which the charitable activities are run, is the community building amount. (3) The “community building amount”, in relation to a community building, means— (a) the sum of the small donations made to the charity in the tax year that are made in person in the local authority area in which the community building is situated, or (b) if less, £8,000. This is subject to subsections (3A) and (3B). (3A) A small donation may not be part of the community building amount for more than one of the community buildings in which the charity runs charitable activities in the tax year. (3B) Where a small donation would (but for subsection (3A)) be part of the community building amount for more than one community building— (a) if the small donation is made in one of those buildings, it is part of the community building amount for that building; (b) in any other case, it is part of the community building amount for whichever one of those buildings the charity determines. (3C) “Local authority area” means the area of— (a) in England, a district council, a county council for an area for which there is no district council, a London borough council, the Common Council of the City of London or the Council of the Isles of Scilly; (b) in Wales, a county council or a county borough council; (c) in Scotland, a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994; (d) in Northern Ireland, a district council constituted under section 1 of the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972. (3D) For the purposes of the definition of “local authority area” in subsection (3C), the Inner Temple and the Middle Temple are to be taken as falling within the area of the Common Council of the City of London.

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.
