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.

(b) provide that, for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 4 of ITTOIA 2005 (charge to income tax on interest), such interest is to be treated as not being paid until the time (if any) at which the balance of the dormant asset is paid out following a claim made by virtue of—

(ii) section 2(2)(b), 5(2)(b), 5(3)(b), 8(2)(b), 12(2)(b), 14(2)(b) or 22(1) of the 2022 Act.

(b) to an authorised reclaim fund and one or more charities, with the result that section 2 of the 2008 Act applies in relation to the asset.
(3) Interest paid or credited in respect of a relevant dormant asset includes interest paid or credited by a person who administers the asset on behalf of an authorised reclaim fund after the balance has been transferred.

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.
