Football Governance Act 2025
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
40 Removal directions: officers
(1) This section applies in relation to an individual (“P”) who is an officer of a particular regulated club where— (a) the IFR has determined under section 29, or is treated as having determined under that section, that P is not suitable to be an officer of the club, or (b) the IFR is treated by virtue of section 35(5)(a) as having determined that P is not suitable to be an officer of the club. (2) The IFR must give either or both of the following— (a) a direction to P requiring P to take all reasonable steps to cease to be an officer of the club before the end of the removal period; (b) a direction to the club requiring the club to take all reasonable steps to secure that P ceases to be an officer of the club before the end of the removal period. (3) The removal period, in the case of a direction under this section, is— (a) the period specified in the direction, or (b) where the period mentioned in paragraph (a) is extended under subsection (4), that period as extended (or further extended) under that subsection. (4) A direction given under this section in relation to P (“the first direction”) may be varied by a further direction so as to extend (or further extend) the period specified in the first direction. (5) Before giving a direction under this section, the IFR must consult— (a) P, (b) the club, and (c) the specified competition organiser which organises a specified competition in relation to which a relevant team is operated by the club. (6) At the same time as giving a direction under this section, the IFR must— (a) in the case of a direction under subsection (2)(a), give a notice to P and to the club, and (b) in the case of a direction under subsection (2)(b), give a notice to the club, including information about the possible consequences under Part 8 of not complying with the direction.

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.
