Child Maintenance and Other Payments Act 2008
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
46 Lump sum payments
(1) A claim for a payment under this Part may be made by— (a) a person with diffuse mesothelioma, or (b) a dependant of a person who, immediately before death, had diffuse mesothelioma. (2) The Secretary of State must make the payment to the claimant if satisfied that the conditions of entitlement in section 47 are fulfilled. (3) Regulations— (a) may prescribe the amount of any payment; (b) may prescribe different amounts for different cases or classes of cases or for different circumstances. (4) In this Part— “dependant” has the meaning given by section 3 of the Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers' Compensation) Act 1979 (c. 41) (“the 1979 Act”); “diffuse mesothelioma” has the same meaning as in the 1979 Act. (5) Where, because of section 3(1)(b) or (d) of the 1979 Act (children, siblings etc.), a payment may be claimed by two or more persons, the payment is to be made to one of them or divided between some or all of them as the Secretary of State thinks fit.

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.
