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.

5 Financial conditions
(1) For the purposes of section 3, the financial conditions for a single claimant are that—
(a) the claimant's capital, or a prescribed part of it, is not greater than a prescribed amount, and
(b) the claimant's income is such that, if the claimant were entitled to universal credit, the amount payable would not be less than any prescribed minimum.
(2) For those purposes, the financial conditions for joint claimants are that—
(a) their combined capital, or a prescribed part of it, is not greater than a prescribed amount, and
(b) their combined income is such that, if they were entitled to universal credit, the amount payable would not be less than any prescribed minimum.

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.
