Flood and Water Management Act 2010
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
44 Social tariffs
(1) An undertaker's charges scheme under section 143 of the Water Industry Act 1991 may include provision designed to reduce charges for individuals who would have difficulty paying in full. (2) Subsection (1) includes schemes which have the effect of subsidisation by other persons. (3) The Water Services Regulation Authority's powers under the Water Industry Act 1991 in connection with undertakers' charges schemes under section 143 of that Act are subject to subsections (1) and (2). (4) The Minister must issue guidance in respect of subsections (1) and (2) which must, in particular, include factors to be taken into account in deciding whether one group of customers should subsidise another; for which purpose the Minister shall have regard to the need to balance the desirability of helping individuals who would have difficulty paying in full with the interests of other customers. (5) Undertakers and the Authority shall have regard to any guidance issued by the Minister under subsection (4). (6) “The Minister” means— (a) in the case of an undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in England, the Secretary of State, and (b) in the case of an undertaker whose area is wholly or mainly in Wales, the Welsh Ministers.

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.
