Subsidy Control Act 2022
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
18 Relocation of activities
(1) A subsidy is prohibited by this section if— (a) it is given to an enterprise subject to a condition that the enterprise relocates all or part of its existing economic activities, and (b) the relocation of those activities would not occur but for the giving of the subsidy. (2) For the purpose of subsection (1), an enterprise relocates existing activities if— (a) it is carrying on activities in an area of the United Kingdom before the subsidy is given, and (b) it ceases to carry on those activities in that area after the subsidy is given and instead carries them on in another area of the United Kingdom. (3) The reference in subsection (1) to economic activities is a reference to any economic activity that entails offering goods or services on a market. (4) The prohibition in subsection (1) does not apply if the public authority giving the subsidy is satisfied that the conditions in subsections (5) to (7) are met. (5) The condition in this subsection is that the effect of the subsidy is to reduce the social or economic disadvantages of the area that would benefit from the giving of the subsidy. (6) The condition in this subsection is that the giving of the subsidy results in an overall reduction in the social or economic disadvantages within the United Kingdom generally. (7) The condition in this subsection is that the subsidy is designed to bring about a change in the size, scope or nature of the existing economic activities referred to in subsection (1)(a).

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.
