The Electricity and Gas (Energy Company Obligation) Order 2023
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.

16 Measures accompanied by a declaration from a relevant authority: household income below £31,000
(1) A measure meets the condition in this article if— (a) the measure is installed at private domestic premises; (b) before the day on which the measure is completed, a relevant authority is consulted on the installation of the measure at the premises; (c) the relevant authority makes a declaration which— (i) meets the validity requirement specified in paragraph (2); and (ii) certifies that, having exercised all due diligence, it is satisfied that— (aa) the premises are occupied by a household living on a gross income of less than £31,000 per year; and (bb) the amount of the gross income of that household has been verified by the relevant authority; and (d) the measure would have met the condition in article 13, if paragraph (1)(a) of that article were omitted (occupation by member of help to heat group). (2) The validity requirement is that the declaration is made— (a) on or after the day on which the relevant authority has published a statement of intent on its website; and (b) within the 12 month period ending with the day immediately preceding the day on which the measure is completed. (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(c)(ii), the relevant authority may verify the amount of a household’s gross income in any way the relevant authority considers to be appropriate provided that it does not rely on a self-declaration given by any member of that household. (4) In this article, “gross income” has the meaning given in article 2(1) of the 2022 Order.

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.
