Welfare Reform Act 2012
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
19 Claimants subject to no work-related requirements
(1) The Secretary of State may not impose any work-related requirement on a claimant falling within this section.

(4) Regulations under subsection (3) may— (a) in the case of a claimant who is a member of the couple, make provision by reference to the claimant alone or by reference to the members of the couple together; (b) make provision for estimating or calculating any matter for the purpose of the regulations. (5) Where a claimant falls within this section, any work-related requirement previously applying to the claimant ceases to have effect. (6) In this Part “responsible carer”, in relation to a child means— (a) a single person who is responsible for the child, or (b) a person who is a member of a couple where— (i) the person or the other member of the couple is responsible for the child, and (ii) the person has been nominated by the couple jointly as responsible for the child.

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.
