19 Discharge of functions of and by another local authority.

(1) The Welsh Ministers may by regulations make provision for or in connection with enabling an executive of a local authority ..., or a committee or specified member of such an executive, to arrange for the discharge of any functions which, under executive arrangements, are the responsibility of the executive— (a) by a relevant authority (other than the local authority), or (b) by a relevant executive (other than an executive of the local authority) or a committee or specified member of such an executive. (2) The Welsh Ministers may by regulations make provision for or in connection with enabling a relevant authority in Wales to arrange for the discharge of any of their functions by a relevant executive (other than an executive of the relevant authority) or a committee or specified member of such an executive. (3) The reference in subsection (2) to the functions of a relevant authority in Wales, in a case where the authority are operating executive arrangements, is a reference to the functions which, under those arrangements, are not the responsibility of the authority’s executive. (4) Regulations under subsection (1) or (2) may include provision— (a) requiring, in the case of arrangements for the discharge of any functions by a relevant executive or a committee or member of such an executive, the approval of the authority of which the executive is part to such arrangements, (b) which, in the case of arrangements for the discharge of any functions by a relevant authority, enables any of those functions to be delegated, (c) which, in the case of arrangements for the discharge of any functions by a relevant executive or a committee or member of such an executive, enables any of those functions to be delegated. (5) The provision which may be made under subsection (4)(b) includes provision which applies or reproduces (with or without modifications) any provisions of section 101(2) to (4) of the Local Government Act 1972.

(7) Nothing in subsection (4), (5) or (6) affects the generality of the power under subsection (1) or (2). (8) In this section — "relevant authority” means a local authority within the meaning of section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972; “relevant executive” means an executive of a local authority under either this Part or Part 1A; “specified” means specified in regulations under this section.

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.
