The Reports on Payments to Governments Regulations 2014
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.

5 Content of report
(1) For each financial year, the report must state the following information in relation to the relevant activities of the UK undertaking — (a) the government to which each payment has been made, including the country of that government; (b) the total amount of payments made to each government; (c) the total amount per type of payment made to each government; and (d) where those payments have been attributed to a specific project, the total amount per type of payment made for each such project and the total amount of payments for each such project. (2) Where a UK undertaking makes a payment that is not attributable to a specific project, that payment may be disclosed in the report without splitting or disaggregating the payment to allocate it to a specific project. (3) A payment need not be taken into account in the report if— (a) it is a single payment of an amount less than £86,000, or (b) it forms part of a series of related payments within a financial year whose total amount is less than £86,000. (4) Payments, activities and projects may not be artificially split or aggregated to avoid the application of these Regulations. (5) The disclosure of payments must reflect the substance, rather than the form, of each payment, relevant activity or project concerned. (6) Where payments in kind are made to a government, the report must state the value of such payments in kind and, where applicable, the volume of those payments in kind, and the directors must provide supporting notes to explain how the value has been determined.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
