The Regulation of Premium Rate Services Order 2024
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.

(4) The information is— (a) the total amount of the charge for the use of the service imposed since— (i) the consumer first began using the service, or (ii) the last notification sent under paragraph (2) or paragraph (3) (as the case may be), whichever is the most recent, (b) the name of the merchant (including any trading name), (c) a link to the webpage of the merchant’s website containing the information required by article 36(1) and (2) or, if the merchant does not have a website, the full name and contact details of the merchant for the purposes of dealing with consumer enquiries and complaints, and (d) clear instructions explaining how the consumer may terminate the provision of the service. (5) A notification under paragraph (2) or (3), together with the information in paragraph (4), must— (a) be sent together, free of charge, by means of an SMS message to the telephone number used for the purpose of imposing the charge for the use of the service, and (b) be separate and distinct to any other information which may be given as part of providing the service or any promotion and marketing of the service.

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.
