Credit Unions Act 1979
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
7A Power to issue interest-bearing shares
(1) A credit union may issue interest-bearing shares if— (a) its rules so provide; (b) its most recent year end balance sheet shows that it holds reserves of at least £50,000 or five per cent of its total assets, whichever is greater; (c) its auditors have made a report under section 87 of the 2014 Act on that balance sheet; (d) it has submitted that balance sheet to the appropriate authority; and (e) it has submitted to the appropriate authority a report by its auditors (post-dating the balance sheet referred to in paragraph (b) above), stating that in their opinion the credit union satisfies such conditions as are specified by the appropriate authority for the purpose. (2) A credit union which issues interest-bearing shares must submit to the appropriate authority an annual report by the auditors appointed to audit its accounts and balance sheet fulfilling the requirements of paragraph (e) of subsection (1) above by the date specified by the appropriate authority for the purpose. (3) A credit union shall convert any interest-bearing shares in issue into shares which are not interest-bearing if— (a) its rules no longer provide for the issue of interest-bearing shares; (b) neither its most recent year end balance sheet nor the balance sheet immediately preceding it— (i) shows that the credit union holds reserves of at least £50,000 or five per cent of its total assets, whichever is greater; or (ii) has been submitted to the appropriate authority by the date specified; or (c) for two consecutive years it has not complied with subsection (2) above. (4) The Treasury may by order provide for subsections (1)(b) and (3)(b)(i) above to have effect as if the references to £50,000 and five per cent were references to such other sum or percentage as they think appropriate. (5) In this section “year end balance sheet” has the same meaning as in section 82 of the 2014 Act . (6) In this Act “interest-bearing share” means a share issued on terms which entitle the holder to interest but not to a dividend.

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.
