(3) The information is— (a) a brief description of the service to which the contract relates, (b) a reminder that— (i) as respects a term-based subscription, the subscription will be automatically renewed for the same duration as previously specified, unless the consumer terminates the contract in accordance with the consumer’s right under article 33 before the last cancellation date, (ii) as respects a subscription of indeterminate duration, the subscription will continue indefinitely unless the consumer terminates the contract in accordance with the consumer’s right under article 33, and (c) only as respects a term-based subscription, the last cancellation date.

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.
