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
49 Reconsideration
(1) Subject to subsection (2), the Secretary of State— (a) may reconsider a determination that a payment should not be made under this Part, on the ground that there has been a material change of circumstances since the determination was made; and (b) may reconsider a determination either that a payment should or that a payment should not be made under this Part, on the ground that the determination was made in ignorance of, or was based on a mistake as to, a material fact. (2) Regulations must prescribe the manner in which andmay prescribe the period within which— (a) an application may be made to the Secretary of State for reconsideration of a determination; or (b) the Secretary of State may institute such a reconsideration without an application. (3) Section 48(4) applies in relation to any reconsideration of a determination under this section as it applies in relation to the determination of a claim. (4) Subsection (5) applies if— (a) whether fraudulently or otherwise, any person misrepresents or fails to disclose any material fact, and (b) in consequence of the misrepresentation or failure, a payment is made under this Part. (5) The person to whom the payment was made is liable to repay the amount of that payment to the Secretary of State unless that person can show that the misrepresentation or failure occurred without that person's connivance or consent. (6) Except as provided by subsection (5), no payment under this Part is recoverable by virtue of a reconsideration of a determination under this section. (7) Any sums repaid to the Secretary of State by virtue of subsection (5) are to be paid into the Consolidated Fund.

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.
