45B Power of Assembly to set minimum schools budget for local authority in Wales
(1) If it appears to the National Assembly for Wales that, in all the circumstances, the proposed amount of a local authority's schools budget for a funding period is inadequate, the Assembly may, within the period of fourteen days beginning with the schools budget deadline in the funding period preceding that funding period, give the authority a notice under subsection (6) or (7).
(2) In subsection (1), the reference to the proposed amount of a local authority's schools budget for a funding period is—
(a) if section 45AB is in force in relation to that funding period, a reference to the amount specified in a notice under section 45AB(1)(b), or
(b) if regulations under section 45AC(1) are in force in relation to that funding period, a reference to such amount, determined by the authority in accordance with those regulations and specified in a notice required by those regulations to be given to the Assembly, as may be prescribed.
(3) If at the schools budget deadline in any funding period, a local authority in Wales have failed to give the Assembly a notice under section 45AB(1)(b) or a notice required as mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the Assembly may, at any time after that deadline, give the authority a notice under subsection (6) or (7).
(4) In this section “the schools budget deadline”—
(a) in a case falling within subsection (2)(a), has the same meaning as in section 45AB, and
(b) in a case falling within subsection (2)(b), means the time in the funding period preceding the funding period to which the schools budget relates by which regulations under section 45AC(1) require notice of a revised determination of the schools budget to be given to the Assembly.
(5) In this section and section 45C “the period under consideration” means the funding period to which the notice mentioned in subsection (2)(a) or (b) relates or, in a case falling within subsection (3), the funding period in relation to which such a notice ought to have been given.
(6) A notice under this subsection is a notice determining the minimum amount of the authority's schools budget for the period under consideration.
(7) A notice under this subsection is a notice which—
(a) specifies the amount which the Assembly would have determined as the minimum amount of the authority's schools budget for the period under consideration if the Assembly had acted under subsection (4), and
(b) states the Assembly's intention to determine the minimum amount of the authority's schools budget for the following funding period.
(8) A notice under subsection (6) or (7) must include a statement of the Assembly's reasons for giving the notice.
(9) The Assembly may act under different subsections in relation to different authorities.

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.
