Maintenance Orders (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1972
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
11 Steps to be taken by Secretary of State where payer under certain orders is not residing in the United Kingdom.
(1) If at any time it appears to the Secretary of State that the payer under a maintenance order, a certified copy of which has been received by him from a reciprocating country, is not residing and has no assets in the United Kingdom, he shall send to the responsible authority in that country or, if having regard to all the circumstances he thinks it proper to do so, to the responsible authority in another reciprocating country— (a) the certified copy of the order in question and a certified copy of any order varying that order; (b) if the order has at any time been a registered order, a certificate of arrears signed by the prescribed officer; (c) a statement giving such information as the Secretary of State possesses as to the whereabouts of the payer and the nature and location of his assets; and (d) any other relevant documents in his possession relating to the case. (2) Where the documents mentioned in subsection (1) above are sent to the responsible authority in a reciprocating country other than that in which the order in question was made, the Secretary of State shall inform the responsible authority in the reciprocating country in which that order was made of what he has done.

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.
