Environment Act 2021
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
85 Authority’s power to require information
In the Water Industry Act 1991, after section 27 insert— Power to require information for purpose of monitoring 27ZA (1) The Authority may, for the purpose of performing its duty under section 27(1) or (2), serve a notice under subsection (2) on— (a) a water undertaker or sewerage undertaker; (b) a water supply licensee or sewerage licensee. (2) A notice under this subsection is a notice which requires the person on whom it is served— (a) to produce to the Authority, at a time and place specified in the notice (which must be reasonable), any documents specified or described in the notice which are in that person’s custody or under that person’s control, or (b) to provide to the Authority, at a time and place and in the form and manner specified in the notice (which must be reasonable), information specified or described in the notice. (3) The requirements imposed by a notice under subsection (2) are enforceable by the Authority under section 18. (4) Nothing in this section requires a disclosure of information that would contravene the data protection legislation (but in determining whether a disclosure would do so, take into account the duty imposed by this section). (5) In subsection (4) “the data protection legislation” has the same meaning as in the Data Protection Act 2018 (see section 3(9) of that Act).

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.
