Consumers, Estate Agents and Redress Act 2007
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
48 Membership of redress schemes: supplementary
(1) In this Part— “qualifying redress scheme” means a redress scheme within paragraph (a) or (b) of section 47(1); “redress scheme” means a scheme under which consumer complaints may be made to, and investigated and determined by, an independent person (“the independent person”); “scheme administrator”, in relation to a redress scheme, means the person who administers the scheme, and references to approval of a redress scheme are to approval of the scheme for the purposes of section 47(1)(a). (2) In the definition of “redress scheme”, “independent”, in relation to a consumer complaint, means independent of— (a) the regulated provider against whom the complaint is made, and (b) the regulator who is the relevant regulator in relation to the regulated provider. (3) Nothing in this Part prevents a qualifying redress scheme providing— (a) for membership to be open to persons who are not subject to any duty to belong to a qualifying redress scheme; (b) for the investigation and determination of complaints other than those in relation to which such a duty applies, made against members who have voluntarily accepted the jurisdiction of the scheme over such complaints. (4) For the purposes of the law relating to defamation, proceedings under a qualifying redress scheme (in relation to a consumer complaint and a regulated provider to which an order under section 47 applies) are to be treated in the same way as proceedings before a court.

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.
