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
As published
53 Contributions received by a local authority which are payable over to another authority.
(1) Where contributions payable under section 45 of this Act in respect of a child in the care of a local authority are payable, by the person liable to make the contributions, to an authority other than the authority responsible for maintenance, the authority receiving the contributions from that person shall pay them over to the authority responsible for maintenance, subject, however, to such deductions in respect of services rendered by the authority paying the contributions over as may be agreed between the two authorities or as in default of agreement may be determined by the Secretary of State.
(2) In this section references to the authority responsible for maintenance—
(a) in relation to a child who is in the care of a local authority by virtue of a care order, are references to that authority;
(b) in relation to a child who is received into the care of a local authority under section 2 of this Act, are references to the local authority into whose care the child has been received, except that where the authority to whom the contributions are payable by the person liable to make them has been notified that under section 2(4) of this Act expenses are being recovered from another authority, the said references shall be construed as references to that other authority.

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.
