Charities 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
16 Power of Commission etc to authorise ex gratia payments etc
In section 106 of the Charities Act 2011 (power of Commission to authorise ex gratia payments etc)— (a) for subsection (1) substitute— (1) The Commission, the Attorney General or the court may authorise the charity trustees of a charity to take any action falling within subsection (2)(a) or (b) in a case where the charity trustees— (a) (apart from by virtue of this section or section 331A) have no power to take the action, but (b) in all the circumstances could reasonably be regarded as being under a moral obligation to take it. (1A) In relation to a charity established by (or whose purposes or functions are set out in) legislation, subsection (1) is not disapplied only because the legislation concerned prohibits application of property of the charity otherwise than as set out in the legislation.

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.
