Business Rate Supplements Act 2009
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
1 Power to impose a BRS
(1) A levying authority has power to impose a levy, to be called a “business rate supplement” (referred to in this Act as a “BRS”), on non-domestic ratepayers in its area. (2) The purpose of imposing a BRS is to raise money for expenditure on a project that the authority is satisfied will promote economic development in its area. (3) A person is a “non-domestic ratepayer” in the area of a levying authority if the person is, as regards a hereditament in the authority's area, subject to a non-domestic rate under— (a) section 43 of the 1988 Act (occupiers of properties), or (b) section 45 of that Act (owners of empty properties). (4) “The 1988 Act” means the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (c. 41).

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.
